When I called to order mine, about 8 months ago, through Ducummon Data Systems (DDS), they only had 3 left. AT&T doesn't have the book in print, and I assume all of them were sold out with the $355 price tag. It was nice to have my company buy it for me :-) -Lenny -- Lenny Tropiano ICUS Software Systems [w] +1 (516) 582-5525 lenny@icus.islp.ny.us Telex; 154232428 ICUS [h] +1 (516) 968-8576 {talcott,decuac,boulder,hombre,pacbell,sbcs}!icus!lenny attmail!icus!lenny ICUS Software Systems -- PO Box 1; Islip Terrace, NY 11752

I'm sorry to disagree with Lenny, but I called AT&T 6 weeks ago, and managed to get them to admit that they had the manuals and could sell them to me. Unfortuantely, the price was almost $700.00 for the whole set. $350.00 for the man pages, and another 300 and some for the hardware and tutorial manuals. Unfortunately, I don't have the actual numbers for you because I threw them away in disgust. I also tossed the requisite 800 number, but it wasn't too hard to come by. I started with local directory assistance, and eventually got the number for some sort of regional documentation center. Oh, well, maybe you can be like Lenny and get your company to shell out the $$ for you...:-) --Peter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter H.
