This may sound silly, but can the message that is printed when a machine fails
to activate or when it does not have the current software version be changed
before final release ?

For example: 

The workstation software version ($VERSION) does not match the
version on the system packs ($NEWVERS).  A new version of software
may be available.  Please contact Athena Operations (x3-1410) to
have your workstation updated.


should refer people to  'Hotline' not 'Operations'  

These messages account for a lot of misdirected mail to operations and slower
response from hotline.
