Hm, weird...

The TTI home-web page seems to have been updated/replaced:
www.ttinet.com

The old "products" are not reachable from the main home page.
"http://www.ttinet.com/products.html". There is no "products"
option in the menues at all.

All mail addresses on the new home-page are now Gmail addresses.

The old "contact" page is still live :
"http://www.ttinet.com/contact.html"
but seems tp have been replaced by a new "contact us" page :
"http://www.ttinet.com/contactus.html".
