DIGITAL are asking us for 60 pounds per month ( about 100 U.S. dollars ) for
 BASIC maintenance for the DMB32 driver software. I know the driver has been
 packaged as a separate piece of software but to charge extra for what is a
 standard VMS driver is a bit steep! What good is the DMB32 without the driver?
Is this normal practice or has our local office not yet got its act together?
