While these promotions generated lots of press for IBM in 2002 -- and maybe sales -- they were not likely to stimulate more demand in the final weeks of the year. The move may indicate IBM is getting ready for a new approach to iSeries co-marketing with its own Software Group, or maybe it just wanted to keep the focus on GreenStreak. >> CLICK here for story: http://www.midrangeserver.com/tfh/tfh120202-story02.html MORE INFORMATION: Read these links on IBM's pricing promotions for Bumblebee: http://search400.techtarget.com/search/1,293876,sid3,00.html?h=true&query=Bumblebee And these on GreenStreak: http://search400.techtarget.com/search/1,293876,sid3,00.html?query=GreenStreak&ctype=ALL =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- OTHER STORIES In addition to the headlines below, others are available on our news page. >> Full Stories: http://search400.techtarget.com/news/0,289141,sid3,00.html .NET DELAYS ARE ANOTHER FEATHER IN J2EE'S CAP | e-Pro Magazine The latest shipment delays for Windows .NET server only bolster J2EE, according to analysts.

The V4R3 will be soon phased out of PROD environment. I'm unable to create a connection -- it fails at the VERIFY CONNECTION step. But if I do a telnet from DOS to the new machine, the sign-on screen pops up. How can make the connection verified in CA?"
