I registered through the formal channel but as I'm not a proper DSPP partner / client, John gave me access as a hobbyist.

Looking for that name with Google yields a link to a page of the HP DSPP program about the 8.4 field test, in which they offer the opportunity to become a field test site for the new OpenVMS version. Sampsa, did you go through an formal request to HP or had some informal contact with that John Egolf? I'm wondering if they will accept a poor hobbyist as an official test site... :) The address I've found with Google is http://tinyurl.com/fieldtest84 (shortened: the original is at the end of this message.)
