PTP/PTP User Meetings
To provide more opportunities for PTP Users (new and experienced) to ask questions of the PTP developers, find out about an interesting PTP "Topic of the Month" and find out what's coming in future PTP releases, we hold a monthly conference call on the 4th Wednesday of each month, 1:00 PM ET/12:00 PM CT. All users are invited to attend. Please suggest topics for our calls by posting to the ptp-user mailing list.
