...they relate more to Linux than you might imagine.  Most of the people 
at Softway and part of the early university work on Unix have or are 
still working to build and extend the features of Linux.  Andrew Morton, 
Jeremy Fitzhardinge, Peter Chubb, Neil Brown... are all significant and 
early contributors to Linux. (This is the *short* list!)

Softway was one of the first Aus companies to contemplate a product 
based on Linux as we were selling BSD-based firewalls at the time.

Happy to give a talk to PLUG and/or SAGE-WA/AUUG.
