Novell doesn't email this info, but there's a new email notification
service due to start soon. Here's the info on it:


    WELCOME to the NetNotify Bulletin and Notification mailing list!

The purpose of this mailing list is simple: to bring time-sensitive and
critical information right to your desktop on a routine basis.

Did you know that there is a new exam currently in beta for your CNE
designation that you can take for free?

Did you know that ABC Networks is offering a free widget with every
copy of their Alphabet NOS purchased before the end of the month?

Did you know that there was a critical patch available for your server
that will resolve abend situations?

Although these are hypothetical questions, they are precisely the types
of issues that NetNotify will address. Each edition of NetNotify will
bring updates, right to your desktop, on issues such as:

- Patches/Fixes that have recently been released.

- Announcements for new networking related hardware/software.

- Announcements for promotions being offered by the top
  vendors in the networking community.

- Announcements for upcoming conferences.

- and much, much more....

As a subscriber to NetNotify, much of the leg work and research is
already done for you. Just sit back, relax, and read a friendly,
informative email bulletin at the comfort of your own desk!

FREQUENCY OF POSTINGS

The NetNotify bulletins will be sent out initially on a bi-weekly
basis, eventually switching to a weekly publication.  Mailings will
be performed on the weekend so, assuming your Internet email is
fairly stable, you can expect a newsletter waiting for you on Monday
morning!

The first edition of NetNotify will be available on Monday, May 6th!
