Conference 7.286::digital

Sorry, I guess I have shown that I am new to Notes conferencing.

Infact I am new to DEC too. Iwa trying to find out who is repsonsible for 
testing DECsafe Failover for various network topologies. I have some 
questions about DECsafe working over ATM.

I know DECsafe it works over Ethernet and FDDI. I would like to know some 
details there. Please let me know to whom I can ask those questions.

Please do not use the outdated version of EASYNOTES.LIS on node ANCHOR.  The
master copy is at HUMANE::SYS$PUBLIC: and see note 2 in the
TURRIS::EASYNET_CONFERENCES conference for a list of other locations.

    re .3
    
    Note - if we (one day) ever ORGANIZED things instead of just building
    them we'd do OK.
    
    We have far too much junk buried under rocks and "oh just look here" or
    "oh just go there" etc.
    
    The folks in the 3M area sorta have their own little coffee club and
    cultural network.  That inbreeding is killing us.
    
    Look at Digital from a CUSTOMER point of view (inconsistent strategies,
    cancelled products, difficult support etc.) and ask if you'd bet your
    business on us....
    
    When I've had to orient new folks to Digital I've had to explain a web
    of mail systems etc....we never make one thing work before we move on
    to another.  It's always easier, and makes it look like progress, if we
    keep doing that....but it's not good biz.
    
    I keep wishing that we'd DELETE all notes conferences about products
    and make the official support mechanisms work well. Wow, would we sell
    stuff then...

    When you think of all the years in DEC that it takes to
    find out where to look for the good stuff , notes conferences
    TIMA etc etc.  
    
    It is crazy that when someone new joins the company that we
    cannot provide them with an induction type of manual stating
    the basic knowledge that many people have acquired of the where
    and how to get information in order to do the job smarter.

                              =========

  On the other hand, they do seem to have down to a science
  that part of the induction where they command you to "Cough!"

re.      <<< Note 4780.6 by SIOG::FITZMAURICE >>>

Unfortunately no organization is going to spend *their* funds.  This is 
another area that falls under the 'good for the corporation' but there is 
no BU charged with developing these things.  Each BU is only concerned with 
what is good for itself.

    Without Notes Conferences, business as we know it would cease, not
    slow down, cease, cease cease!!!
    
    It seems (Seems Madam nay it is, I know not seems!), that Digital 
    Equipment Corp is not going to invest in the "Official" way of getting
    information, support, etc.  So the underground has tried to offer 
    information so that we "can do our jobs". 
    
    I'm not saying this is the preferred way of "doing business", just
    that at DEC, er, Digital Equipment Corp, 
    
                     "IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO BUSINESS"
    
    I'd love to see more "official" support mechanisms in place, but
    somehow I don't see it happening, after all, haven't we managed (sic)
    to get this far...  
    
    
    As a former colleague used to say:  
    
    "There are no victims, only Volunteers!".
    
    
    I do agree with the jist of .5

    We used to provide "The Yellow Pages".  It was great!

    Unfortunately, some groups seem to change so often, any resource guide
    would be obsolete by the time it was published!

  Also note that in newer versions of VMS, "SEA" is not a legal abbr for 
SEARCH. You must enter SEAR, which conjures up some interesting images.

    Depends more on what you might have installed, I'd guess.
    
    The above was cut & paste from V7.0.  I'll check again when I have time
    to throw on my FT 7.1 KIT.
