Our numbers have continued to grow, and we now have approximately 1,300 members. Our membership consists primarily of networking professionals who represent companies ranging from small businesses to large corporations, but it also includes members such as students, consultants, and resellers. NUILetters features articles from local users and information about new products and about Novell. We developed a collection of software so that NUIA members can test products before buying them. This benefit is especially valuable because money-back guarantees do not exist in Argentina.
Many companies donate their software to our collection.
We are currently working with Novell Argentina to provide an authorized reseller to install and configure Novell products for our members to evaluate. In addition, NUIA members have access to hardware products that are hard to find in Argentina, such as Fast Ethernet hubs and network interface boards, Vinca StandBy network interface boards, and Xircom 4 modems. Other hardware vendors permit NUIA members to evaluate their products in the vendors' office. Access to Technical Publications NUIA members have access to a technical publication library. Technical Support During business hours, NUIA members can call the NUIA office and receive free technical assistance from two of our most knowledgeable members.
