RE: [Micronet] FW: [BITS] trc / cdwg ?

Liz,

You are correct, rerouting from TRC does not seem to be working as promised.

The url for the UCB CDW-G page is attached below.

Hi David--
Apologies if this has already been posted, but I noticed that the old UCB
TRC site is redirecting to the CDW commercial home page, but there's no
indication of how to get access to the UC specific catalog, price lists,
etc. Is there a special login we should use to see UCB pricing, etc.? Or
will we get a customized URL like we had with TRC?

Thanks,

Liz
