Since IBM no longer has ROLM, I doubt that the subject will ever come up again. There were exactly two issues that arose at that meeting. One was why IBM won't consider certain products (MVS and the XA versions of their operating systems) under the new University discount program (Universities don't do that, we were told) and problems with Rolm phone switches. Nobody spent more than 2 minutes talking about anything else. -Ron
