Yeah I have a customer in Lousyville that has one RS/6000 dial out to it's
"mommy" RS/6000 and update the "mommy" with the branch info. I don't mess to
much with their RS/6000's much other than cabling repairs and hardware
upgrades and repairs since they have a support company that takes care of
the OS and all the applications. Rats are great money makers too - they chew
my wires in the 3 block long warehouse, cause network dropouts, and I make
money rewiring a one block long string (used to be 3 blocks until I talked
them into connection blocks for damage and other problems, and to make
troubshooting easier).
