Well, contact your DEC sales person and point out that you have a serious
problem.  It is up to them take care of getting you though the DEC maze or
assign your problems to someone in the office in charage of service/contract
administration until they do.   Be insistant and don't let them forget about
it and sooner or later they'll do what they are supposed do.

Now something like getting your own name on software and correspondance,
instead of the person gone 2 or 3 years is a bit more difficult....
