The last I heard they had bunded the two programs under the new tradename of SANS. Tandberg (aka SANAKO) also markets entirely software-based systems. In addition, there area dozen other virtual digital lab systems to choose from. I am curently editing an IALLT monograph that provides a comprehensive comparative evaluation of the majority of them. It will be about three months before the book is published, but if you can wait I'm sure it will be well worth it.
