I don't know what HESC is.  Is that a support contract or a platform?
You can call 1-800-CALL-AIX only if you pay for that level of AIX
support.  The regular AIX support is via fax.  We bit the bullet and
paid extra so we could talk to a live person after having extended
outages while waiting for a response from a fax.
