Yes thats what happened to us... we complained and this guy called to let us know our options. Funny how everyone feels the same way and 3com continues to push this. If we all switched platforms I am sure they would begin to listen to the few customers that remain. Many companies out there would gladly take our stuff on trade on a port for port program. I just keep hoping 3com will wake up and listen... my patience is running thin though as I am sure are others.

Oh you got one of those calls too? ;-)
Well...this was after complaining to high heaven to our sales rep who forwarded our complaints on to this guy...then he didn't even call to try to address our complaints...just to tell us what was available in support contracts. We already bloody knew what was available as far as support contracts were concerned...that's why we were complaining! :)
I told him 3com was only trying to make a Profit on Support...
I was basically told, at one point, that 3Com didn't want to do anything that wasn't "revenue positive." You can imagine the response that brought.
I told him I always considered Support an Expense and then prodeceed to explain to him how much I cared for his call.
Heh...yeah...my co-admin took the call here...he let the guy know, in no uncertain terms, what we thought of the call and the support contract situation in general...like I said...he totally blew us off...we were never contacted again about that subject. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
