Cross post from microsoft.public.certification.winnt

I am a software consultant specializing in relational databases. I have =
a client who has a ms-sql database on a WinNT 4.0 server and uses remote =
dial ins for access to the databases when out of the office. She =
purchased this product software and hardware for over $80K and the =
system is unreliable.

I need to speak/correspond with someone (preferably from within =
Microsoft or one of MS's development team) who can give me some =
technical information.  While the database and the computer are stable, =
a few flakey things are happening here and there. We need to determine =
whether or not these things are a function of the core MS-SQL database =
(which we doubt) or poor programming (which is more likely). I would =
also like to know some nuances with WinNt itself.=20

My client is about to sue this vendor (no, not a MS OEM, or affiliated =
with MS in anyway) for damages this system has caused her very large =
business hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenues. The vendor =
is blaming her staff for all the problems, and is blaming "Microsoft =
inadequacies" for most of the rest.  I need someone who can vouch for =
the OS and the database product and can lead me to the places where we =
can show that indeed poor programming is to blame.

Please help! =20
