Excuse me for butting in. I also remember part of the thread but I may have
missed some of it. If the following is of any relevance enjoy. If not
ignore.
I noticed in the March issue of News 3X/400 page 197, that Andrew Corporation
have a product called NetLynx which 'puts your LANs on speaking terms with
IBM's AS/400'. They specifically mention 3Com, ARCNET, etc. Their number is
800 733 0331 ext 2103. Local number 213 320 7126. Canadian 800 is 800 267
1821, UK 0734 894689. I only just noticed the ad tonight but I will be
phoning in the morning for more info as this may solve a customers problems.

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

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

Mel,
You bet that helps! I will be on the phone in a few minutest to order a
subscription to your magazine. I'll let you know what I think about it! I am
looking forward to learning more about the "midrange" world especially the
AS/400!
Thanks for your info.

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

Yes, you're right. It is the 'softer' mag. And I'm sure you've noticed I'm a
hard core 400 techie. <g>
