You completely miss my point. The previous posting indicated that there was an in-place dealer network (of large proportions). I called the customer relations number and they gave me several "local A/UX dealers". I selected the nearest one and called them - ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY WERE NOT AN A/UX DEALER. BTW, we already have A/UX (certified developer program - it's great!), and I was inquiring about updates, support, etc. Also note, we don't bother to run the current version of A/UX - there isn't much there of interest that we don't have on other Unix boxes (litany of A/UX failings and omissions can be culled from old news articles and does not really need to be repeated.)
