     Here's the latest information I've been able to find:

     The HP Secure Web Console is currently being transferred between
     either divisions or division geographies.  In any case, the transfer
     of responsibility and support is apparently taking a little longer
     that anticipated, but I have been told that there should be some
     product information available via the HP Access web pages(www.hp.com)
     sometime in the next month or so, and first product release will
     probably be sometime near the end of summer.

     These are not committment dates...I'm just trying to keep the
     interested parties apprised of any information I have.  I received a
     fair number of responses from people who expressed an interest in this
     new product and, while selling futures is not something condoned by
     the HP Way, I think you deserve whatever conservative planning
     information that can be provided without compromising the integrity of
     HP(or myself).

     As I encounter additional information and/or as the official release
     date nears, I will keep you up to date as best I can.
