4182.0. "Why don't we sell modems for OpenVMS and UNIX Alpha systems?" by MBALDY::LANGSTON (our middle name is 'Equipment') Thu Oct 12 1995 16:04

I work at DECsale and take, personally, two to three calls per week from reps
whose customers want to order Alpha system with a modem.

The only modem I can find that we sell is the PBXDF-AA, which is 14.4 and 
Windows NT only.

I'm embarrassed to tell people "we don't have any." And when they say "What do 
you recommend?" I reply "look in the Black Box catalog."

Why don't we sell (more models of) modems?

Bruce:

  Probably becuase modems are not a core competency?

  In any case, you may want to ask in SOLVIT::MODEMS. If you
  don't already have this conference in your notebook and would
  like to add it, press <KP7> or <Select> or type "SELECT" and
  the conference will be added to your notebook.
