yes, that is what I'm asking for. I know that it is a lot to ask, for 
someone to just pop your name to someone who can make decisons, without 
knowing what you can or can't do. Hence this approach. Already, Bruce 
McIntosh, over the past few days, has been very, very helpful in 
introing me to some ppl/things, and Alain Hoang has contacted me 
off-line, with some suggestions, all very nice of them both, and very 
helpful.

without sounding too unprofessional to the potential employers, number 2
