Dear Mr. Skelton:
We have reviewed the above referenced filings and have the

we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we
may

1. We note that you entered into a licensing and distribution
agreement with Legato Systems. Supplementally provide the material
terms of this agreement. In your response specifically address
the

how you accounted for this transaction. Further, tell us how you
considered EITF 98-3 in determining whether this was a purchase of
assets or a business.
Item 6. Management`s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation
Results of Operations, page 14
2. In future filings, revise to discuss the causes for material
changes in your financial statement line items from period to
period.
For example, your revised disclosure should discuss the reasons
that
your revenue increased and your cost of goods sold as a percentage
of
revenue decreased from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 to
September 30, 2004. See Regulation S-B, Item 303(b)(1)(iv) and

and SEC Release 33-8350, section III.B.4.
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition, page F-8
3. We note from your revenue recognition policy that you apply
both
SOP 97-2 and EITF 00-21. Supplementally provide and revise future
filings to disclose the nature and terms of arrangements that are
subject to SOP 97-2 and EITF 00-21. In your response specifically
address how you determine the fair value for each element in
multiple
element arrangements pursuant to the authoritative literature you
are
applying. Also provide us and in future filings revise to
disclose,
information pursuant to SAB Topic 13 B, including the types of
license arrangements, types of services provided, products sold
and
your revenue recognition policy for each type of product/service.
4. We note that you recognize revenue when an arrangement exists,
with a determinable sales price and shipment has occurred. Tell
us
and revise in future filings to disclose how you consider
collectibility in determining whether revenue should be
recognized.
In your response address whether your arrangements provide for
contingent payment terms, rights to refunds, rights of return or
extended payment terms and how you consider these provisions, if
any,
in determining when revenue should be recognized. We refer you to
paragraphs 26 through 33 of SOP 97-2.
5. We note from disclosures throughout your filing that you enter
into arrangements with distributors and resellers. Tell us and
revise future filings to disclose how you recognize revenue
pursuant
to these arrangements. In your response specifically address your
consideration of paragraph 30 of SOP 97-2 in determining your
revenue
recognition for sales through distributors and resellers.
6. Supplementally, provide us with a revised revenue recognition
policy footnote that addresses the above comments.
Note 4 - Notes Payable, page F-13
7. We note that you issued warrants in connection with the
$750,000
two-year loan and recorded the fair value ($311,953) of the
warrants

for
recording the fair value of the warrants as deferred financing
costs
as opposed to debt discount. We refer you to paragraphs 13
through
17 of APB 14.

enterprise-wide segment disclosures pursuant to paragraphs 26(a)
