Anyone have any experiences negotiating with Gupta Tech. concerning OEM quantities of their SQLBase and SQLWindows products? Its been like pulling teeth trying to get a 100 quantity quote from them for the OS/2 runtime versions of SQLWindows & SQLBase. Finally I get a proposal back and they want 100% cash upfront at the signing of an agreement for a 10% discount. And this for a Beta copy of SQLWindows with no planned release date. Does anyone know what it takes to get their attention and get reasonable responses from them ? The product looks like it would be great for our application - great PM support. I just need to get past the sales folks hassles or go on to selecting some other vendor. plever@pacer (Paul Lever)
