Not everyone can be the boss. If IBM hopes to increase its market share, IBM must sell into shops that have not previously been using IBM mainframes. And the cultural norm (Alan says "political/idealogical problem") is that the new kid in the neighborhood doesn't instantly get to be the gang leader. But I believe that there's real hope that STP will relieve this problem. At least the latest PoOp acknowledges the existence of NTP. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
