  18. Excuse me for butting in.  I also remember part of the thread but I may have  
  19. missed some of it.  If the following is of any relevance enjoy.  If not       
  20. ignore.

  22. I noticed in the March issue of News 3X/400 page 197, that Andrew Corporation 
  23. have a product called NetLynx which 'puts your LANs on speaking terms with    
  24. IBM's AS/400'.  They specifically mention 3Com, ARCNET, etc. Their number is  
  25. 800 733 0331 ext 2103. Local number 213 320 7126.  Canadian 800 is 800 267    
  26. 1821, UK 0734 894689.  I only just noticed the ad tonight but I will be       
  27. phoning in the morning for more info as this may solve a customers problems.

  39. Thanks for the info, I shall give them a call.  By the way, being new to the  
  40. world of these big machines (I have basically a micro background) I was       
  41. wandering about the magazine you were talking about.  Is there a "BYTE" for   
  42. mini-computers or are most of them oriented towards a specific machine        
  43. architecture?  What is the best for AS/400 and how can I get my little hands  
  44. on a subscription?

  53.                                                                               
  54. Paul,                                                                         
  55.   The monthly magazine I work for, NEWS 3X/400 (about 200 pages), while not   
  56. equal to Byte, is the publication with the most technical material per issue. 
  57. You can call 800-373-3853 for subscription info ($80/year).                   
  58.                                                                               
  59. Midrange Computing (formerly Data Network) costs less ($69/year) but is       
  60. thinner (about 75 pages/month).  However, MC still has quite a lot of         
  61. technical info.  There's not much duplication between the NEWS and MC; you'd  
  62. get your money's worth out of both.  800-477-5665.                            
  63.                                                                               
  64. There is also a biweekly thing called Midrange something, and that's free, but
  65. I can't seem to get a subscription.  Guess I'm not "qualified" (grin).        
  66.                                                                               
  67. Systems 3X World is a monthly that runs about 160 pages and is also free of   
  68. charge to "qualified" subscribers.  It doesn't contain many technical         
  69. articles, though -- mostly product announcements, news and management pieces. 
  70. 708-296-0770.                                                                 
  71.                                                                               
  72. One other publication that takes the name "periodical" to extremes used to be 
  73. called Q38, but changed its name to "Midrange something".  The January, 1990  
  74. issue just came out (really!) and I'm not sure how much a subscription is or  
  75. how many issues are published per year.  I don't have any copies handy, so I  
  76. can't give you the phone number, either, but the publisher is Bob Cozzi, based
  77. in Chicago, I think.                                                          
  78.                                                                               
  79.   I hope this helps!

  94. subscription to your magazine.  I'll let you know what I think about it!  I am

  108. It used to be Tech Exec, but they've recently changed their name to 3X/400    
  109. Information Management.   I gather that they are the "soft" AS400 magazine,   
  110. Systems 3X and AS World being the more technical.  The later publication      
  111. published something of mine in April, also, but it was a reprint of something 
  112. from American Programmer.
