YES >If we do, can it control the z890 and z800 we will have in the HMC network? YES >Will it be able to work together with the other OS/2 based HMC we have? What do you mean? Do your two OS/2 based HMCs talk to each other today, or do they both have the opportunity to connect to the service element of either box? You can have all three HMCs on the same LAN, the Linux one can control all three machines, the OS/2 HMCs can continue to control the two old boxes. Once you use the Linux based HMC you won't want to use the OS/2 based HMC. Okay, that is my opinion. Laggards will have trouble using something new. Being able to right click ICONs instead of looping around a task list is a blessing. >TIA > >Gadi > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
