Dear Jos.
I'm sorry if you have been ignored. It's nothing personal.
I'm not aware of you outstanding order (wrong department), but I'll ask for it
to be followed up. Your request for a static port is noted, I shall pass it on
to Ray.
Regards
Andy

Why is it, that i can't get anything else then an answering machine and no
reply to emails, not even to you Andy? I would like to have that static
port. And i would like to know what the status of my last order is.
Getting pretty annoyed here, sorry,
Jos Okhuijsen
