1422.0. "ISVNet - The Electronic Connection" by TOOK::DMCLURE (CHARGE!!!) Thu Apr 04 1991 01:07

    	I just discovered ISVNet today from a marketing brochure I saw
    lying around.  It looks like it has big potential, but I'm still
    not quite sure what it is as I was in a hurry and I didn't want to
    take what looked like the only copy left, so I scribbled down the
    following information on ISVNet - can anyone here elaborate on this?

    The Electronic Store (an on-line, VAX Producer-based electronic showcase
    of Digital products), now provides access to something even newer called
    ISVNet which promises to be even more successful.  To access ISVNet,
    simply use any terminal & modem (set to 8-bits per character, no parity,
    on either a 1200, or 2400 baud line) and call 1-800-234-1998 between
    7 AM and Midnight.  Then enter the following to log in and use it:

	User Account : 1-19771
	Sub Account Number : 0
	Password    : ISVUSER
	Default Set : STANDARD

	...and you're in business with DEC!  Check it out!  All we need
    now is the human element - all we need are DEC's employees noting in
    ISVNet notesfiles to communicate with potential DEC customers!

p.s.	I even found what looked like a notesfile or two in there,
    	that almost looked like a protoype of the Info-Market idea
    	(note #1024) complete with the ability to "Purchase" and
    	everything!  (or did I imagine it)?

Subj:	RE: More information on ISVNet

Welcome to Digital's Independent Software Vendor Program!  The ISV Group
provides services to third party software developers to assist them in 
developing their applications on Digital's platform and get it to market when 
complete.  ISVNet is just one of the many services available to the 
developers when they become a member of the ISV Program.  ISVNet was
established by the ISV Group to provide technical support to its members.  
It has since been expanded to include marketing information, access to The 
Electronic Store and SOFTbase.  In addition, Distributors and VARs are now 
being recruited to participate on ISVNet.  This provides both the software 
vendor and the distributor with an open forum to discuss business issues 
and opportunities.

One of the most popular services on ISVNet for providing technical support
and information is NOTES Conferencing.  Digital employees are welcome and
encouraged to participate in these NOTES.  Any employee can access NOTES
from EasyNet simply by doing an ADD ENTRY.  To obtain a list of the 
available conferences on ISVNet, you must use the following command:
		NOTES>DIR/CONF /ALL ISVNET

The marketing brochure contains instructions on how to access what we call 
a "teaser" account.  This account is located on The Electronic Store and is
only a mock-up of ISVNet.  However, it does provide potential users with a 
feeling of what is available to them on the network.  You CANNOT access ISVNet 
from this account.  

If you would like an ISVNet account, please send mail to Carol Mroczka
at MR4DEC::MROCZKA or ALLIN1 @MRO.

Please let me know if you need more information.  The ISV Group welcomes
you to ISVNet.

Paula Cain
