| The licenses are for the driver itself (ie. the SCO version and the Netware
version). That's it.

Why do we include a SCO driver license when we sell a FDDI controller for a
VMS AlphaServer ?? What value does it provide to the customer ?

I don't know why the AQS (whatever that is) calls out the SCO UNIX and
NetWare drivers specifically, but the DEFEA ships with a DOS-based (FAT
formatted) diskette containing "PC" based drivers such as NetWare
server, NetWare client, DOS, OS/2, and Windows NT. A separate floppy
containing the SCO UNIX driver also ships with the DEFEA, but that
situation will change in the not too distant future.
As for OpenVMS and Digital UNIX customers, feel free to throw away or
reuse the floppies that come with the DEFEA. You won't need them.

Thanks - just FYI, AQS is the Automatic Quote System. It's what Sales Reps
use to generate a quote for a customer, and typically what a customer reads
to see what it is he's buying. I don't know who in Digital is responsible
for entering product descriptions into AQS, but I find they are often wrong
and sometimes do more harm than good. I'd suggest every Product Manager
should look at a quote of the product(s) he/she is responsible for, share a
copy of that with the engineers for that product, to make sure we are not
sending out incorrect info to our customers. After 15 years of looking at
quotes from Sales Reps, it's never gotten any better..
Here's what a customer would see when a Sales Rep quotes a DEFEA, regardless
of the hardware platform it is intended to be installed in or the OS in use:

| Thanks for the lesson. In the case of DEFEA and DEFPA, the PM is
George Nielsen (DELNI::G_NIELSEN). I'll forward your last reply to
him, but you may wish to contact him off-line to see that this gets
addressed.
