212.0. "NetNotes Server Software?" by PCBUOA::BAYJ (Jim, Portables) Thu Jun 05 1997 17:03

    I'm sure this information is in here, but I'm having trouble locating
    it...
    
    A bunch of conferences are going away (again) and so I am looking into
    a way to host one or more of them.  I don't have a VMS workstation
    anymore, so NetNotes popped into my head.  
    
    Is NetNotes Server software available internally?  For free?

    Yes, but.
    
    I found a copy of it in the DECwest repository referenced herein
    somewhere, but upon installing it found that it wanted a key; the
    key generator that was available for in-DEC use (which I found a
    copy of courtesy Paul Winalski) creates keys that are already
    expired. So the trick would be finding a source for a valid key.

    Hmmm.  I infer from its conspicious abscence that names of folks who
    might provide such a thing are difficult to come by.  does the company
    that was making this product still exist at all?  I see Steve
    Cloutier's name on a lot of the early notes.  Any clue where he went?

    I believe Ostech was bought up by Spyglass. No reference to Webnotes
    or NetNotes anywhere in their current website, though, aside from a
    defunct pointer in ftp.ostech.com/kits/. No idea what happened to
    Steve Cloutier.
