I wouldn't normally post these notices to the list, but since csus.edu is
not currently available for new uploads, thought I'd go ahead and send these
to everyone.  Attached is a Marketing Notice intended for Banyan's Channel
Partners.  Anyone without direct Banyan support will need to get the patches
mentioned below from their VAR or other normal support provider.
