Over the last few years I have tried on several occasions to get access to the knowledgebase through my var and have been told that they would see about getting it for me. Last time was about 6 months ago, I'm still waiting. Which tells me either they haven't tried to get it for me or there is a problem getting it through IBM.

It was barely legible and not helpful. I was still glad to get it. VAR said they could try and get access for me but hadn't any success in the past... I never heard back. Still can't use HTML or PDF from (character based) SB+. I do recall hearing the VAR angle but my experience with our VAR didn't really support that.
