(spam?) QNX Hardware Requirements

Anyone received this?
I guess the sender scraped address from QDN;
I’m the last one to be ever interested in serial cards.

IMHO spamming by email is worse than spamming qdn..
(spamming qdn.
is also bad, just in case)

The original was inflated by trailing MS Word HTML.

Dear Kabe;

My name is Adrian Stickland and I recently came across your message
while reading the QNX newsgroup. Could you please tell me if any of your
new QNX projects require serial I/O cards (i.e. RS-485/422, RS-232, or
20mA current loop)? The company that I work with which is called Connect
Tech manufactures serial I/O cards ( PCI, ISA, PC/104, Compact PCI, and
USB ) that support QNX. If you do not require serial I/O cards, what
type of connectivity products are you currently using? Please contact me
if you would like a Connect Tech product brochure mailed to you. For
more immediate information on Connect Tech products, our web page
address is www.connecttech.com http://www.connecttech.com/ . Thank you
for your time and I hope to hear from you in the near future.

Yours truly,

I know Adrian. I really doubt that this was spam. Were you asking a
question in one of your posts about the availability of serial card for QNX?

…or as the practice shows it’s enough just to mention a magical word
“serial”… :wink:

but i submit, conecttech folks sometimes post alike messages but it’s
unlikely spam, maybe more like a gentle advcertisement.

Yes, I received similar email few months ago. I didn’t recognize it as spam. Not every unexpected
letter is a spam. I believe I can send you email if I need your help or advice, but I bet it will
surprise for you! And you’re free to block my address and never see my emails, it’s useless with
spamers.

I guess the sender scraped address from QDN;

Yes, it’s clearly pointed out.

I’m the last one to be ever interested in serial cards.

You had to inform Adrian about it :slight_smile:. I replied to Adrian about our products/manufacture. Their
cards are good, and it’s possible we will use them :slight_smile: I didn’t find any harm in that email… so,
now we have excellent paper catalogue of their products. Absolutely free and kindly handled by
Connect Tech.

I can kindly provide you with a real spime :slight_smile: just will forward that shit from my email box. Last
time I received a lot of spam from “african millionaries” :frowning:
Cheers,
Greetings from Ukraine.

For whatever is worth we use ConnectTech products in our systems and they
work nicely.

Just some weeks ago we had a really weird problem with one card that turned
out to be
a problem with the UPS, not the card. However their tech support guy was
very supportive
and they were in a brink to hop in a plane to help us the very same day we
solved the
problem.

ConnectTech products. Recommended.

I’ve never asked anywhere that I need serial cards,
but I did say in news:aj4le1$l96$1@inn.qnx.com that if the ported ntp-4.1.72
will work for serial clock source (GPS,PPS).

Well, if nobody else had received this it may not have been a bulk spam
as a `result’, but you’ll never know it.
It’s just sooo easy to search for “serial” and
blast away offers to every poster without reading the content.
(Targeted commercial email? Well, every spammer says so too)
