Well I couldn't let this one go.With respecto to DEC Support all over
the world you simply can't go around the fact that the Usenet forum
represents a world wide database of information.
With that in mind I must say that over the last 2 years 'comp.sys.dec' ,
'comp.unix.ultrix' and 'comp.os.vms' represent the best 'Support Center'
for me, and they don't cost me anything.
Except for our connection to Usenet , but this isn't payed
by our Department ,at least not at the moment...
