Query for Destination z -- mainframe accessibility
Over the years, IBM's done great work making technology accessible -- that is, reducing effects and limitations of diminished hearing, sight, mobility, etc. In the past, I've seen fat IBM handbooks describing platform-specific accessible technology -- though not lately. But given ongoing research/development plus ADA requirements for reasonable accommodation, I suspect this is still an active area. The difference is likely that modern platforms are accessed by the same universal devices -- smartphones, tablets, workstations, PCs, Macs, whatever. (Keypunches and coax-connected 3270 terminals, not so much.) So that's where accessibility would be provided, at network edges. What's out there? What have you seen/used? I'll appreciate hearing real-life experiences about using mainframes with any hardware/software/network/etc. tools to overcome access limitations, along with pointers to tools. Thanks -- and as always, please copy replies to me directly so they're not buried in list digests. -- Gabriel Goldberg, Computers and Publishing, Inc. g...@gabegold.com 3401 Silver Maple Place, Falls Church, VA 22042 (703) 204-0433 LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/gabegoldTwitter: GabeG0 -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: DB2 Forum
Agreed. As I recall you have to sign up at the IDUG Web site (www.idug.org). I find the usability of the listserve software itself to be poorer than this one, but it is a good forum. The heavyweights hang out there. Very active.

Can someone recommend a good DB2 Forum? The one at IBM developerWorks is not very active. As example, 17 of the last 25 questions have gone with 0 replies. 6 of those with only 1 reply.
