1023.0. "Employee Purchase Program and Europe " by PRSIS4::WDAVIES (Winton Davies @EVO) Mon Feb 05 1990 13:50

    Could someone confirm whether the Employee Purchase Program
    is for US Employees only ? 
    
    And if so why ?
    
    And if not, how does one go about making a purchase ?

        Employee Purchase Programs are administrated on a country by
        country basis. The Digital EPP typically refers to the Greater
        U.S.A. area only.
        
        why? There are a number of taxation and legal reasons within each
        country related to the selling of product to employees. Some
        country managements, have approached this problem. others haven't.
        Check with your local PSA to determine the status for your country
        of residence....

	RE: .2 I'm not sure that 1-800 numbers are reachable from the UK.
	IN fact, Canada and a few other close countries may be the only
	ones that will reach US 800 numbers. And even then not all of them.

	There is also an Employee Purchase Program Notes conference.

1023.5It's toll-freeIAMOK::DEVIVOPaul DeVivo@VRO DIM&T/STG 273-5166Fri Feb 09 1990 17:016
    re 1023.4
    
    In the USA, 1-800 numbers are paid for by the person called.  So they
    are called "toll-free".  Apparently that is the only public number for
    the Employee Purchase Program.  It would seem that a DTN would make
    more sense since it's supposed to be only for employees.
1023.6Not everybody has DTN access...FSDB00::AINSLEYLess than 150 kts. is TOO slow!Sat Feb 10 1990 15:239

    Then, how do you expect the people in field who only see the office
    once a month or quarter, and then usually after hours, to contact them?

1023.71-800 U.S. only (usually)TROA01::MSCHNEIDERSun Feb 11 1990 05:097
    For you people south of the border ..... very few 1-800 numbers
    are available outside of the U.S.  It costs extra to provide even
    Canadian access to 1-800 and it seems for many companies that the
    world stops at the U.S. border.   Please don't forget that there
    are offices (like mine) that don't have DTN.
