If you are talking about IX/370, it runs under (and requires) VM and 
should be shareable with other guest operating systems.  It won't be 
restricted to just the 4300 series machines, however, but should run
the entire line.  The One-Time Charge, excluding the cost of VM, 
depends on the number of Currently Signed-on Terminal Users (CSTUs). 
Here is the breakdown:

	CSTU	  Total License Charge
	----	  --------------------
	16		$10,000
	32		 20,000
	64		 40,000
	65+		 75,000
