|  |     Have him call either Ron Renaud, 508-493-4161 or Jean
    Gaillardet.   
    
    Jean manages the relationship between Digital and Maspar.
    I would recommend Jean be the first contact.

|  |     I believe Jan Horton is the new account manager for Wayne State.  I
    will forward your note to her.

|  | Thanks.
I left a message on Jean Gaillardet's voicemail, and I sent mail to
her...
I hope the message finally gets to the correct person.
Thanks,

    It made it. I support the MasPar/DECmpp (a massively parallel SIMD*
    machine manufactured by MasPar Computer Corporation in Sunnyvale, CA,
    which uses a DECstation 5000/240 as a front end) and received mail from
    a co-worker who spotted this note. I have since contacted Jan Horton,
    the account rep, and left voice-mail with the customer.
    
    For future reference - when trying to find out where a product is
    supported, or who supports it, call:
    
                                    1-800-354-9000
    
    I don't read this notesfile very often (except when there are rumors of   
    a fight during a BOD meeting!) so getting to the folks in Colorado
    would help in having the right people contact the customer as soon as
    possible.

| 3235.5 | How do we look to the customers? | NUBOAT::HEBERT | Captain Bligh | Fri Jul 08 1994 14:23 | 20 | 
|  | HELP!
I just took another call, similar to .0, but from a different customer.
This was from Rick Hoffman, of the Sinclair Intermediate School District
in Detroit, Michigan. He had called Martha Pinto at 347-5061 (he didn't
remember the area code), and was told to call my number.
Rick is looking for information on a Modem Pool.
His number is 810-364-8990.
I tried to look up Martha Pinto in VTX ELF, and there is no such person.
Rick said that she was terminated (how would the customer know this, and
why)???
I need to determine who (probably in a sales office in Detroit) is giving
customers my number.

|  | Mr. Hoffman said that he called Martha Pinto's number. He got switched
(automatically) to the operator, who gave him my outside number. I can't
get to the operator there, because he couldn't give me the area code
(reason unknown, and I didn't want to press it). And, I can't call Martha
Pinto's number, because she no longer shows up in VTX ELF. He said there are
multiple area codes in Detroit?

| 3235.8 | Try this! | GLDOA::RAO | R. V. Rao | Fri Jul 08 1994 15:29 | 8 | 
|  |     
    Try (810) 347-5600 for the switchboard operator at OHF (Novi, MI)
    where Ms Pinto used to work till her TFSO. Sue Needles at this office
    was/is Martha's Sales Unit Mgr and Barry Clark is the District Mgr.
    Their secretaries may help.

|  | I think I've fixed the problem.
I spoke with Sid Hebert (note!), the regional manager for educational
customers, in the Novi, Michigan office. He answered the number I found
for Sue Needles (I didn't have this notes string up, so I looked her up
in a hardcopy Digital telephone directory).
My primary concern is that customers get serviced without a telephone tag
game. Sid (he pronounces it ay-bare, I say heebert) Hebert promised to
fix the telephone misdirection. 
Thanks to all,

|  | I think there's a new area code in the Detroit suburbs, but the old one (313)
still works.

    Not after 8/10/94.  After that date you'll need to know the area code -
    either 810 or 313.  The Digital office is getting the new (810) area
    code.

|  | FYI, I got two more customer calls yesterday, so this is not resolved
yet.
The Detroit (Novi) area office people apparently work for a manager down
in Louisville, Kentucky. I've been on the phone with several people down
there. One had exactly the wrong idea: "I'll have someone call them and
see what they want." NO, I said. I already took the information on what
they want. I want someone who KNOWS about purchase order #xxxx, and
someone who KNOWS about CSLG to call them armed with information.
Sheesh. Maybe I'm in the wrong end of this business.
