  "ASCII Group Asks Feds To Back Off Microsoft
  
  While Microsoft was filing its first formal response to antitrust allegations, a group representing independent value-added resellers and systems integrators urged government officials to back off the software giant.
  
  The ASCII Group, based in Fairfax, Va., issued a position paper Tuesday that called for the suspension of The Judiciary Committee's hearings on Microsoft's business practices."
  
  It doesn't look like The ASCII Group is
  very independent; they're solidly in
  Microsoft's camp, it seems.
