Apple A/UX Dealer Hot-line is less then entirely useful.

You completely miss my point. The previous posting indicated that there was
an in-place dealer network (of large proportions). I called the customer
relations number and they gave me several "local A/UX dealers". I selected
the nearest one and called them - ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY WERE NOT AN 
A/UX DEALER.

BTW, we already have A/UX (certified developer program - it's great!), and I 
was inquiring about updates, support, etc. Also note, we don't bother to run
the current version of A/UX - there isn't much there of interest that we don't
have on other Unix boxes (litany of A/UX failings and omissions can be culled 
from old news articles and does not really need to be repeated.)
