You're welcome. But you answered my non-rhetorical question with
questions -- and rhetorical ones at that. ;)

So allow me to try again: Would it be possible for you or another member
of the sysadmin team to:

* determine who "owns" this network
* verify if it is really unmaintained
* if it really is unmaintained, offer to become a maintainer
* improve it with the specified features

?

Take care.
