| Have not heard back from Siscom.

| FreeTDS.org resolves now, but sadly not to our website.  The registration
| appears to have expired.  whois says:
| 
| Domain Name:FREETDS.ORG
| Created On:25-Aug-1999 02:32:50 UTC
| Last Updated On:29-Aug-2009 03:56:31 UTC
| Expiration Date:25-Aug-2010 02:32:50 UTC
| Sponsoring Registrar:Tucows Inc. (R11-LROR)
| Status:CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED
| Status:CLIENT UPDATE PROHIBITED
| Status:AUTORENEWPERIOD
| 
| The Tucows site offers Siscom as the "Registration Service Provider" and
| says to talk to them because 
| 
| 	"Tucows is a wholesaler of domain names and other Internet services to
| ISPs and web hosting companies worldwide. We do not sell domain names
| directly to consumers. 
| 
| 	We are not the owner of domains for which we are the Registrar of Record.
| The domain name owner is your best source of information about a specific
| domain."

This domain scam needs to stop. They tried to snipe pkgsrc.org from us
recently.
