DECUServe provides a friendly platform, primarily using the DEC Notes conferencing system, but also providing a full OpenVMS account. If you don't already have an account on DECUServe (aka Encompasserve aka Eisner.DECUS.org) -- registration is free. To register for DECUServe, just Telnet to decuserve.org (or eisner.decus.org), use username REGISTRATION, and follow the simple instructions. We do appreciate it if you supply true information - and we don't share that information. You will need your "DECUServe Number" to request Hobbyist licenses. You are told that number during the DECUServe registration process (please write it down). Or... To check your DECUServe registration details needed to request Hobbyist Licenses, you can just type $ HOBBYIST. DECUServe transmits membership information to the Hobbyist Program twice weekly. If you have recently registered on DECUServe, please allow time for that transfer and for loading into the Hobbyist database.
