On a slightly different track, I just inherited a Pro 350 and a copy of Venex 1.0 that needs to be installed. Unfortunantly, I have to enter an access number based on the software and hardware ID's before the installation begins. The procedure says to call DEC software support at 800-DEC-8000 to get the access number. The software support person there could not help me because she says Digital will not do any support on any pro-300 series software. (If fact, she insisted that pro/venix was a layered product running on top of P/OS and did not want to back down from that statement even after I quoted from their manuals.) Does anybody have a suggestion as to how to get this system installed?
