Indeed. I have fond memories setting up [and IML them often ] those 3270 controllers for our 3278 / 3279 terminals. My own preference was setup two [3279] terminal for my own usage with 32 lines by 80 columns. Juniors only got 24x80 until they politely ask me. ;-) Then one second-hand imbecile of an *sshole working with electrical cables decided to cut all my coax cables with a sidecutter. His lame excuse was, my cables were in HIS way [1] . He nearly lost his work. I was <censored> mad about that episode, because we need to share some terminals with un-cut coax cables while we fix up [2] the mess, which is a pity because I want to use his sidecutter on a sensitive body part between his legs. <grrrrrr> Today those young guys/gals won't understand all those 'underground', uhum, 'underfloor' work... ;-D ... and won't really understand IML and such unused terminology/jargon/acronyms... Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [ 1 ] - Mind you, there was more than enough vertical + horizontal spaces under those floors. That person wants a shortcut and thus laid the wires not in recommended route due to the shortness of his wires... [ 2 ] - You quickly learn to use self-adhesive labels on both ends of such a cable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
