The criticism is *not* that STP has a separate charge, but rather that the automated setting of the time *ON A SINGLE BOX* requires STP, which is chargeable. I don't recall anybody complaining that sub-millisecond synchronization between boxes should be free. >do you really want IBM to implement lower quality time services on >zEnterprise? As a free *option*? In a heartbeat. As the *only* option? Nobody has asked for that. What they have asked for is the ability for a single box to use NTP without paying extra for it. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz, SysProg and JOAT Atid/2 <http://patriot.net/~shmuel> We don't care.
