4964.15Finding info in VTX TELTHEBAY::WIEGLEBVoracious schools of lottery girlsThu Mar 27 1997 16:425
    RE: .13 Access to this and other services related to our old telephone
    directory services are accessible through VTX TEL.  I found the
    information you were looking for in there.

4964.16And via the Web, it'sTUXEDO::STRUTTColin StruttThu Mar 27 1997 20:4010
    re: .13 and .15
    Assuming you use a modern computer system, perhaps unable to run VTX,
    you can also find this information out on the web:
    	http://midoff.bbp.dec.com/htbin/site_lookup.sh?MRO
    to find the information for MRO
    or
    	http://midoff.bbp.dec.com/htbin/site_lookup.sh
    to get the page which allows you to enter the site code.

    Re .16. Ah yes, that makes much more sense. Wonder why they didn't
    think of that string first? :-) :-) :-)

4964.18VTX TEL is not up-to-dateINDYX::ramRam Rao, PBPGINFWMYFri Mar 28 1997 20:388
The database use by VTX TEL is quite out of date.  Looking up INI (my
home base), I find the address and phone number of a facility that we
vacated in August 1995.  Several times a year, packages get sent to the
old address, because people look it up in VTX TEL!

4964.19Keep pushing on the process to get it fixedTHEBAY::WIEGLEBVoracious schools of lottery girlsMon Mar 31 1997 17:2924
    RE: Updates to VTX TEL
    
    I know it's frustrating, but please spend the time to beat up on the
    corporate folks to update the data when you find it is incorrect.  VTX
    TEL may not be perfect, but it's the closest we've got to a definitive
    source of information right now.  
    
    Having just moved to a newly created facility I can tell you I spent an
    inordinate amount of time making sure that VTX TEL, ELF (both of them),
    DTNs, MTS routing, and everything else got corrected.  We seem to have
    axed way too many people who are responsible for making this type of
    change occur seamlessly.  (God knows we do enough facility moves to
    make having properly working procedures well worth while.)  It's
    time-consuming, but the over-worked people who support this stuff have
    been responsive in trying to get it fixed within this broken process.
    
    Just remember that the alterative to working to get the out-of-date
    information up-to-date is having *nothing* that you can refer to as a
    definitive source of information.  If we keep pushing on the process to
    get things up-to-date, maybe we can actually get the process fixed.
    
    Sorry 'bout the soapbox.
