How to join
Potential beta customers should contact Dan Reger at
dreger AT legato DOT com. Because the listserv rejects posts with .doc
attachments, I cannot attach the related beta documents. The first step
in the beta application process is, essentially, to provide me with
contact information - including your Legato sales rep and SE if
applicable. I will then provide you with the beta agreement, etc.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Dan Reger
Product Manager
