Sam from Connectys (sp?) just called me about Teleform. He had my phone number and both Linda and my names.
 
He was trying to sell us a new version. I was ready to blow him off but he claims the current version will no longer work once we move to Windows 7. In our environment this would likely happen with the next PC upgrade for that workstation (MS stops supporting XP April 8, 2014); that does not mean that eHealth will upgrade us before then, but eventually this will become a concern.
 
I asked him to send me further information so we can start thinking about this.
 
I tried to find more info online about teleform, but the mess of web sites out there all claiming a piece of it has me a little suspicious what is going on. Do we have any contact information on who has supplied our current license?
