Hate to sound like a smartass but your first step would be to dump AOL and get a
real ISP. No really you might try Infoseek and they've found the most for anything
I've ever searched for. I'm not sure if Mitsubishi would be any help since they
are such a diverse company with cars, electronics, computers and all.

Also you might try http://www.Windrivers. com / they run leads to most companies
and will probably have a link to the correct section of Mitsu.
