How to circumvent DNA restriction in a bacterial host?

Hi,

I am trying to do gene replacement in a gm(-) bacteria that contains an 
uncharacterized restriction/modification system(s), however, I am not able to 
get recombinant transformants via electroporation or CaCL2 methods.  I assume 
the problem is DNA restriction since I had a tough time cloning DNA from this 
organism.  I tried using several different R/M E. coli strains for preperation 
of DNA without success.  Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how I can 
get arround this problem?

Thanks Jim.
