Thanks, John.

Found a SHARE presentation that shows Resolve is one of the Electronic 
Support offerings.  I didn't even know that, having nothing to do with the 
contracts.

Since I was asked the question without seeing the contract, guess I need 
to see what all we're actually paying for.

IIRC, Resolve includes what used to be known as "TechQA" while Servicelink 
does not.
