Hi Mark, I can't tell you how many people have emailed me in the past few hours asking that same question, so I'll reply here on the list.
I've been consulting with the IRS since last Spring on VM and Linux/390 related issues. As you may imagine, security is extremely tight here, so tight in fact that it's difficult for me to get through their firewall to my own mailservers (which is why you rarely see me on the list these days!). MC Consulting Company, Inc. is still alive and well and living in Massachusetts. :) I will probably be posting more often using my IRS email address since we are very active with Linux/390 work at the moment and I can no longer wait until I get around their firewall to post and read messages on the list. Thanks to all who have inquired and expressed concern - it's good to hear from all of you! Michael Coffin, VM Systems Programmer Internal Revenue Service - Room�6030 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Michael, You should be able to use a CMS reserved minidisk. That's what the original Marist file system installed called for. Does your new email address mean that you're no longer running your own company? Or is it simply a convenience while you work on a contract for the IRS?
