Peter,
I used DUL (one of my last "40 hour days") under extreme urgency. We
didn't have to fax anything, but then, our senior Vice President did
call Ray Lane's secretary to get Field Support to pull someone in off
vacation to come to our site, so I guess that's pretty good
verification.
The product does what it says it will do... and I hope I NEVER have to
use it again.
