  DEC has two services that can help you: Part Number Assistance and Unlisted
Parts. Part Number Assistance will look up part numbers for you in one of two
ways: For a DEC-built item, just describe the part. Your RRD40 sleeve descrip-
tion will be fine. For a non-DEC-built item (like the LP25/26 printer), you
need to give them the vendor's part number and they'll convert it to the DEC
part number.

  Everything DEC sells has a part number, but it may be an item that isn't
generally available. Unlisted Parts will take the part number, determine the
price and availability, and transfer you to DECdirect who will then happily
take your order.

  Both of these services (Part Number Assistance and Unlisted Parts) can be
reached at 603-884-5000.
