What I loved about war games was that the hacker's computer was somehow
autodialling with a ACOUSTIC coupled modem. I distinctly remember seeing the
handset of the phone in the acoustic modem. Oh, and the phone was PULSE
dialled, not TONE dialed, to boot.

A number of years ago I worked on a project that involved donating computers and
software to police departments, so we had a lot of press coverage.
The computer was an old mini that was one of the first ones without a front panel.
Just a plain beige metal box with a couple of big clunky disk

Touché'. I somehow missed that one. I do remember the acoustic coupler,
but I wasn't quick enough to pick up on the tone dial and put two and two
together. Its all part of the Hollywood fantasy. As one great actor said:

Yeah. It makes process killing pretty splendidly interactive.

I went to the first one, and while it was a bit disorganized, it was an
absolute blast. If I can swing it, I'll be back to the second one.
Jay,
If you do, let me know so we can hook up again. I'm really sorry I missed
the first one. I would have loved to meet Terry Pratchett.

An interesting article regarding the possible brokering of the Novell/SUSE
deal by IBM as a means to short-circuit SCO's lawsuit against IBM.
http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/novell_suse.html
The reason the article is interesting is explained in part by another
article that
Well, IBM has painted the zSeries black, put a cool
copper reflective strip on it, and changed the door
locks! The external cables are orange for ESCON and
bright yellow for FICON.
The only problem is that they now look exactly like
the new pSeries boxes!

Okay, now add a slave display from the Service Element to the front door, and put up a
cool screensaver, such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], and you've got something.
Besides, it would give the operator/technician something to look at when things go
wrong, so he doesn't have to open the back door.

Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine
Hmm.. What I loved about the film, was the kid's computer. It was
supposed to be an S-100 based unit, one of the IMSAI jobs. And
naturally the modem as well. Come to think of it, that annoying habit
of dialing for modems, started around then. But your right John.

The z800 comes with two crypto engines built in. I haven't tried to use
them on Linux or z/VM on the IFL yet. I have done some work with them on my
test z/OS 1.4 system.

James,
That doesn't work. Why? First, the shell redirects STDERR to *the current
STDOUT destination*, you then redirect STDOUT. Try:

We have a VTS(3494-B18). How can I access and use this VTS under Linux/390?
Should I setup DFSMS on z/VM first?
