No they don't! I understand all of that equipment has been upgraded!
Hell, that was in progress when *I* was in TSG! Kinghorn dispo'd the last
of the 4mb token ring cards at least a year ago, as I recall.

They were looking into replacing that too... as far back as I think two
years ago. Those techologies really WERE outdated and useless.
For those who don't know, SYSM is a mail program that runs on IBM
mainframes. IIRC, the machines themselves weren't even being supported
after Y2K... IBM gave up on the version of the OS they were running, or
some such thing. I may be mistaken about this last bit though.
