1. On 30 October 1987 the Office of Training and
STAT Education's (OTE) Executive Officer, and the Chief
STAT of the Information Systems Training Division, OTE
STAT attended a briefing by on the Softswitch
Connection. It appeared to us that this new facility to provide
cable dissemination would be very useful to OTE. I often have
to respond to cables with a relatively short time delay. We
also receive cables related to training and administrative
purposes. At present, these cables must be delivered in paper
form from Headquarters. On several occasions the lack of timely
receipt of these cables has caused OTE significant problems.
Softswitch sounds like the answer to this very real problem.

2. Unfortunately, according tc it appears
that Softswitch would only work at Chamber of Commerce if we had
a WANG VS gateway. While we have five WANG Alliances, we do not
have a WANG VS. I request that OIT acquire a WANG VS gateway
for OTE access to Softswitch.
