Pixius discontinued support in Dec. 2004 (still accepted payment this year though). Mike and Luke at Sierra-Bravo did write mvi about 6 years ago. We just cut over to Sierra-Bravo DBC last week. Mvi has been running for 6 year for us with no issues, but we wanted to get the extra functionality with the new version. Bob

Yes the Pixius website is still up, but you can not find any mention of MVInternet from the main page. You can find information if you do a search. I placed a call to the main number and asked for information on MVI, but the person did not know what I was talking about. Their website currently only makes mention of custom programming services and web hosting. It looks like we can still get support, but the product is "end-of-life"d.
