help desk, no way.  bug fixes, yes as long as the bug report
is sufficently detailed.  i have some vague recollection i
made an offer to fix bugs for JD.  don't know whether i ever
collected.  probably when i was at PRL -- ULTRIX engineering
were hopeless;  we stole the code and fixed it ourselves.
of course, we could never release it.  catch 22.
