On a slightly different track, I just inherited a Pro 350 and a copy of
Venex 1.0 that needs to be installed.  Unfortunantly, I have to enter an
access number based on the software and hardware ID's before the installation
begins.  The procedure says to call DEC software support at 800-DEC-8000
to get the access number.  The software support person there could not help
me because she says Digital will not do any support on any pro-300 series
software. (If fact, she insisted that pro/venix was a layered product running
on top of P/OS and did not want to back down from that statement even after
I quoted from their manuals.)

Does anybody have a suggestion as to how to get this system installed?
Thanks in advance.
