Hum, I guess you could run Linux for zSeries on an PSI box legally. IBM does not have any say in that. What would be interesting would be if a PSI box could also implement the old pre-XA architecture, thus allowing use of the public domain OSes from IBM (MVT, MVS 3.8j, OS/VS1, and the original VM/370). Of course, I don't know why anybody would want to do that. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
