AFAIK, you'll need to wait for a broken lap... the AS/400 twinax runs at
1.5Mbit and I don't think that changes at all; besides, I thought that the
AS/400 ran EBCDIC, not ASCII, which could make for some interesting looking
login screens... ;-)
But I've only worked a little bit here-n-there on AS/400's; for all I know
I could be full of condensed milk.

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
