This is to announce new technical support policies for Kermit software.
Effective immediately, but with a grace period extending through
November 30, 1995:
. Phone support may be obtained by calling +1 (900) 555-5595.
Presently, this number is available only to those calling from
within the USA. Calls to this number cost $2.50 per minute.
. Phone support may be also be obtained by calling +1 (212) 854-5126.
This number may be called from anywhere in the world. The cost of
each call is $25.00, chargeable to your MasterCard or Visa account.
. Phone support is available at no charge to tech-support liaisons at
sites that have purchased site licenses or bulk right-to-copy licenses.
The number is +1 (212) 854-5126; a bulk or site license serial number
is required. (Note: this category presently applies only to Kermit 95)
Technical support is also available at no direct charge as follows:
. On the Web. Point your Web browser at http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
and look through the Kermit FAQ and other topic areas.
. By netnews. Read and post questions to comp.protocols.kermit.misc.
Members of the Kermit team will respond to questions on a best-effort
basis. Others may also respond.
. By email to kermit-support@columbia.edu. Members of the Kermit team
will respond to questions on a best-effort basis.
Why the new policy? Simple: One-on-one telephone support is costly and
inefficient, and the demand for it has been skyrocketing in recent years.
Charging for this service will allow us to expand it to keep pace with
demand.
You may begin using the 900 number right away. Callers to 854-5126 will
be informed that this service will no longer be free after November 30.
Thank you for helping us to serve you better!
