The silly thing is that they think it will work. How long do you
suppose it will 'clever' people to work around whatever restriction IBM
puts in place?
I can't even find the Beyond Technology stuff archived anywhere. Anyone
recall the URL of a site that had the purpose of archiving everything
on the net?

I'm inclined to agree. I've said as much in previous posts (e.g.,
http://archive.midrange.com/mi400/200106/msg00016.html). It's very sad
but all related to chasing services dollars and taking the easy path of
selling the customer what the customer seems to want rather than doing
the extra work to sell the customer what they need.
