Computone was bought out by Altura XL. I sent an email to both
[email protected] and [email protected] on 10/22/04, and have
not received any response.
An email to [email protected] also got no response.
Since I could not find any submissions by the maintainer fixing
the code recently (the only 2.6 cleanup I could find was some
module-init stuff by Adrian Bunk), I'd call it orphaned in 2.6.
