- VMC will not produce any more hardware
Since beginning of the new Year 2000 we decided not to produce or to
develop hardware any more. The company VMC will focus on software
developement and license the software products to third party
companies.
- HyperCOM 1 not produced any more, rights sold
The - nearly legendary - HyperCOM 1 interface for the Amiga 1200 will
not be sold any more by VMC. All rights for further production as well
as an adapted software license have been sold to "Individual
Computers", who will continue to offer this product with an excellent
service under the name "Silversurfer".
- HyperCOM Plus product line sold completely
On January, 20th, the products of the HyperCOM plus product line have
been sold. The complete stock and a license for further production has
been transferred to "Individual Computers". However, VMC will continue
the software care and ensure proper function in the future. We kindly
ask you to direct any orders to Individual Computers or a distributor
that carries their products.
- New ISDN-Blaster-3 and VMCISDN on the way?
We're currently continuing our work on the ISDN-software. The
harddisk-crash last year has destroyed large parts of the sources that
have still not been restored. We're currently checking the necessity of
a new generation of ISDN cards that will blast everything you know from
ISDN-adapters or modems.

Hosted by the Fachhochschule Karlsruhe (Technical College), the yearly "Meeting Karlsruhe" took place
last weekend, for the seventh time and with about 150 participants. I was overwhelmed by the really
phantastic organisation of this huge meeting. There were 5 rooms with 30-35 computers each completely
networked. The Fachhochschule provided a free 10 MBit connection in addition to their rooms, which
led to great download rates. Thanks to the ATM systems from HiLan, there even where 155 MBit available
locally.
