<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi Guys,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Onno and I have been discussing issues he is having with using the ATO online systems on his Linux platform. I am one of the people who work on a component of the system that may be incompatible at the moment; and I would like to work with him and any others to make this component becomes compatible. Onno mentioned that several others at the PLUG have similar interests in using the ATO online systems with Linux. Could those people who are interested please respond so that I know who, and how many people, I am assisting.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">At the moment this assistance is an informal arrangement, however I hope to be able to use this experience to build a mechanism for co-operative support of Linux by the ATO and user groups like PLUG.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">PS: Please do not respond with other concerns relating to the ATO, as I will not be able to respond or assist you. The appropriate course of action for other issues is to contact the ATO directly; I recommend writing a letter and/or making a phone call.</FONT></P>
