Is there any mailing list about this. There is an AIX-in-general mailing list (AIX-L@PUCC), but the large majority of traffic on that list concerns AIX on PS/2's and the like. If there seems to be a need for it and there is enough interest, I'm willing to start up a AIX370-L mailing list on NCSUVM. Send your votes to ME, not the list. Although there are sites that are running AIX/370 right now, evidently they aren't really allowed to talk about the product yet because they are part of an early-test program -- at least according to what I found out when I asked about the status of AIX/370 on AIX-L about a month ago. This would probably inhibit any 'true experiences' discussion on an AIX370-L mailing list. Does anybody else think that IBM should have chosen a different name for AIX/370? 'AIX' has gotten a VERY bad reputation on this campus because of the PC RT debacle. It's a shame, because most everything I've heard about AIX/370 thus far has been positive... -Chuck
