Unless your responses are timely and informative, they are of little
value.

The Communications cookbook has several errors which are not entirely
typographic in nature -- these include descriptions of the responses
to various commands, including 'netstat' and 'ping'.

The RT Diagnostic diskettes for AIX 2.2.1 DO contain baseband adapter
tests -- however, it required a service call from a CE (and another 3
days) before I had working copies of THOSE!

The entire support structure at IBM seems intended to frustrate the
poor programmer -- despite the fact that there are a few well-informed
people, whose work is invaluable.  But IBM's corporate policy in re
Software support is awful.
