+                         THE DECUServe STORY K A subscription costs $75 per year.  DECUServe is an electronic conferencing K system, somewhat related to bulletin board systems but much larger and more L organized.  It is devoted to the general area of computer technology such asJ systems, software, hardware, and communication, in the Digital and related third party vendor market area.   J The conferencing system is available nearly 24 hours a day, seven days perK week.  There is no hourly connect charge. The subscriber pays communication M costs to a phone number in eastern Massachusetts.  Reduced rate communication M services are available in many areas and INTERNET access is available (node - M eisner.decus.org).  Subscriptions must be used by a single person. Company or L group subscriptions are not available, nor may subscriptions be transferred.  H The service is accessed using a VT100 (or higher) terminal or compatibleN terminal.  Many subscribers use one of the VT100/VT220/VT320 terminal emulatorH programs available for PCs and larger computers.  No special software is required at your end.   N DECUServe uses the Digital VAX Notes conferencing software.  We currently haveM over 50 technical conferences available on subjects such as Security, the VMS O Operating System, ALL-IN-1, Databases, Site Management, Personal Computing, DEC M Networking, Third Party Software, Hardware, Workstations and many more.  Over # 60,000 technical notes are on line.   N A subscriber starts a specific discussion topic in an appropriate conference. N Other subscribers who have registered their interest in the general conferenceK subject are automatically notified when they open the conference that a new L note is available.  They may reply to the topic and a discussion develops as/ more interested subscribers add their replies.    O Typically, the discussion takes the form of a question posed by one person with M a problem.  Frequently within 24 hours, several other people may respond with O suggestions or solutions.  Others may join in to broaden the question, or apply @ it to other areas.  The result can be beneficial to many people.  O Alternatively, a subscriber may just browse the vast number of such discussions N already available and find a solution ready-made.  Several tools are available to expedite searches.    	 & A DECUServe Registration Form follows:  M -------------------------------  cut  ---------------------------------------     2                        DECUServe Registration Form<                                                            _= o Please print clearly or type.                           | | I                                                           |_| New Account = o The registration form below must be used as an invoice. | | E                                                           |_| Renewal 8 o No purchase orders will be accepted.
