- Actually, we do indeed want to deal with individuals! However I had not
- had much indication of difficulty in connecting to the 800 number. With
- this in mind, I would like to offer alternatives:
-
- For those in the Northeast, Canada, and the Central part of the country,
- please call Clemmie Hoffman at (919)379-5176 or email to gccab@gcss20.usl.com.
-
- For those in the remainder of the East (ie. NY south and west to about
- Illinois, call Jeri Beenders at (908)522-6010 or email jerilyn@usl.com.
-
- For those in the West (ie. Colorado westward) call Lynn Berry at
- (919)379-5179 or email to gclcb@gcss20.usl.com.
-
- If in doubt, call any of the numbers. Each of these people is interested
- in selling products. They will call back!
-
- However, if all else fails, call me at (908)522-5099 or email to paulf@usl.com.

- Does this mean that if Sun chose the C++ Standard Components to resell,
