Sigh... I despair, really, I do... > > Rod I agree. One of our LAN people made a router change which interrupted about 200 CICS users (TCP connected). They entered a problem ticket on it. His question: "What's the big deal? It was less than a minute and they're all back working now." This is not to say that the LAN people don't care, but just that they don't understand the mainframe availability standards that the users demand. Why the same users don't scream when an Win2K server is down, I don't know. I guess they are used to Win2K servers being "flakey". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team +1.817.255.3225 This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
