Hinrich Eilts, Author of ipxtund, Where are You?

Leandro Dardini is desperately seeking Hinrich: "As consultant for a local provider, I have to present a solution for a big problem: tunnel IPX over IP to permit old application users to connect via Internet. After digging google, I found ipxtund, written by Hinrich Eilts in 1998. It works great even after 4 years, but I have a question to the author. The author vanished. After searching again in Google, I found the last clue of Hinrich in a post on 23 Jul 1999, then nothing. I don't want to think the worst, but, Hinrich Eilts, where are you?"

Hold on. Someone just knocked over the concrete wall enclosing the parking lot across the street. I'll be back.

It frightens me that this comment is almost more interesting than the article. (So what happened?)

Doesn't all software end up being Disappearware?

Throwing this out as an 'Ask Slashdot' topic makes it a hard-data example that entities pushing proprietary software, i.e. Microsoft, can point to when making the case that 'you won't have anybody to call' with Free Software.

Hmmm, as far as I know Microsoft doesn't support Win95 any more. Isn't that just the way of all old software, free or non-free?

Dear Slashdot,

Help! I've been desparately looking for this missing, uh... coder.. yeah. Her name is Anna Kournikova. I've tried contacting all of the email addresses that I've found listed but she is unreachable. If anyone could give me her current contact information, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks!
