Hello (and sorry for this slightly off-topic question)

Does anyone know where vscan for unix can be ordered besides www.nai.com?
I called NAI in the States - it was horrible. During about 15 minutes I
spoke to seven morons, every one of them only said s/th like "Oh, I don't
know about vscan for Unix, please hang on a sec...". I have never faced a
larger amount of stupidity in such a small amount of time.

Then I called NAI Germany, they gave me the number of their distributing
partner (logibyte). First time I called them the guy there claimed there
is no vscan for Unix. The next day another guy told me that rel. 5
(German) still has no support for Unix and that I should buy r5 online in
the States. I'd have no problem with an English version, but I'd really
like to buy it inside the EC, e.g. in Britain.

Any hints welcome, TIA

Volker
