You can call them at 408-425-8649; someone answers the
phone, and at least some upgrades are available.  Technical
responses are not available, however, and while there is
(sometimes) someone there I have some doubt that there are
ever two people there!  A new release is said to be in the
works, but I'm not holding my breath.  As John Plocher
notes, the people who brought us uport 386 don't seem
to work there anymore.
