Thank you all - I now know what this thing is ...
It came with an Alphastation 250 4/266 with 256Mb memory !
All I need now is a camera ... sigh ! Well two for full duplex :-)

This pkg you are refering to is: Comminque, a video confrencing pkg put out
by INSOFT. Do you have a camera on your system? Files for this pkg. are located
in /opt/insoft or /usr/opt depending on install..........The only gotcha from
DEC is hardware (mem and Cpu) and a MMS-multimedia license.

It's a license to run Communique! software. About the time DEC
introduced the Alphastation 250 they included this package with all
workstations shipped. Use your favorite web browser to see
http://www.insoft.com/ and learn all about it.

I looked up the part number in the price list; here's what it says:
QM-4DFAA-BA COMIQ! STRT U/A LICENSE
communique! Starter V4.0 Third Party License
Software Product Descr: N/A
USCLP 195.00 List Price
So, it's some third-party product that we happen to sell, but I've never
heard of it myself, and it was worth less than $200 US if it even is the
current version.
I'd trash it if I were you.
