Did someone tell IBM to turn it off? That is a choice. The only reason I can think of off the top of my head that someone might do that is that the IFL has a (very small) hardware maintenance charge associated with it after the warranty period. If it's totally idle then someone might object to the maintenance charge, although that probably doesn't explain why it went missing during the warranty period. But you might still have rights to an IFL, John, so I'd dig around a bit to figure out what happened to it and maybe have a chat with someone on why they're turning off hardware you already own and paying for, say, another 100 distributed servers that you don't. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
