    Funny. Funny. Notes - musical as well as this.. :) Enjoy trekking. What
    else ? mmm... the isms - atheism, objectivism. I guess that's about it.
    So I'm introduced ? Hey - I can hear thunder outside... thanx for the
    drumroll folks !

363.24ULYSSE::BUXTON_MA black belt in Kno Kan DooFri Aug 25 1995 15:5010
    
     Yes,
    
     You type VTX EASYNET and a think its option 6, type D for decnet
     and then the node name.  Then look for the location code, then grab
     the neares DEC phone book, and find the location.
    
     Easy isn't it,

    Hi _
    
    I'm also a new 'guy' in town. My name is Hayley, I'm 23 and I'm currently a
    contractor in Reading (UK) but I start here permanently next monday.
    I'm real lonely here :(   and in need of some company 
    cos everyone seems to be on holiday except me !
     I've just graduated from Uni and this is my introduction to the
    real world. I'm originally from the North of England and have recently
    moved down to experience the cultural delights of the South and I am
    currently sharing a flat with 5 guinea pigs and 18 dwarf rabbits -
    pooh!
    
    I look forward to being your 'friend'

    Hi Hayley,
    
    Guinea pigs ??????????? Dwarf rabbits ???????????????????? Ok, I'll
    swallow the rest of my comments :))))))))))) 
    
    I guess there are lots of folks here who aren't holidaying, so welcome
    to Worksville & here's to your career.........
    
    Cheers
