The University of Toronto has AT&T source licenses for a bunch of AT&T products, including UNIX, C++, etc. Up until 6 months ago, we dealt with someone at AT&T Canada when we wanted new releases and license changes. At that point, we were told that AT&T in the US was taking over the Canadian side of things, and were given a new contact in the States. Since then we have been unable to talk to anyone. No one returns calls, and FAXes go unanswered. Has anyone in Canada managed to get a source product out of AT&T in the last few months ? If so, who did you talk to, and what is their phone number ? Even better, has anyone in Canada managed to get a copy of the source for C++ 2.1 (or even the pricing for it) ?

Their support was minimal and nobody seemed to know answer to any technical problems. For example, it took us quite a bit of runaround and a few MONTHS time just to get their education courses calender! BTW, is anyone out there running V.4? -- Peter Yeung Amdahl Canada Ltd., Software Development Center 2000 Argentia Road, Plaza 2, Suite 300 Mississauga, Ont.

When we finally got things rolling, i started receiving tapes. it wasn't until the 4th set of tapes, that i got something i could read on our 3B2. by this time, AT&T (canada) no longer marketed source products. fortunately, because of the media problems i was having, i was in contact with AT&T (new jersey) before AT&T (canada) stopped selling source. they have been responsive (maybe not speedy, but i did get answer's and action) >Has anyone in Canada managed to get a source product out of AT&T in the >last few months ?
