[Info-vax] KZPCM-DX or KZPCM-DA (VMS compatible)

[David B Turner]

Shipping via Fedex is cheper because they ARE the frieght forwarder and they 
electronically file all customs paperwork for us
We do al the work on this end before the label prints

As for KZPCM-DX - it is the DA - dx is board only. DA comes in a nice box 
with a floppy driver for NT alpha

Did the sender employ a Freight Forwarder?  It doesn't happen
automagically.  A Freight Forwarder will do what he is paid to
do.  If he is not instructed and paid to take care of customs duties
it won't happen!
