Joe I think the 150 is indeed NOT supported with V5R1. Groetjes (Greetings) =========================================================== Name: Eduard van den Braken E-mail: e.vd.braken@hccnet.nl Town: Leusden -- the Netherlands Homepage: http://home.hccnet.nl/e.vd.braken/ =========================================================== -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]Namens Joe Pluta Verzonden: donderdag 4 april 2002 19:00 Aan: midrange-l@midrange.com Onderwerp: ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I have NEVER had such a hard time trying to give a company money. I own a model 150, and lease a model 270. I'm trying to see if I can upgrade my model 150 to V5R1 and I'm getting so much static it's not funny. First, I get sent on a 15 minute wild goose chase through Partnerline until they figure out that the 150 is mine, not theirs. Now it's back to IBM Direct. There I get a trainee who tells me the machine isn't supported. Her trainer then got on the line and told me to go to my "business partner or VAR" with a tone of voice that clearly indicated that I should know this and not bother him. I tried to explain that I bought the machine from a 3rd party who originally bought the machine from IBM, and that I had no business partner, but by now the guy was getting realy snippy. His next words were, "Now sir, listen to me before you go raising your voice." At that point I said I wanted to speak to his supervisor. Since then, I've spent the last ten minutes on hold off and on waiting for someone to give me a business partner name. After telling them I'm from Illinois, I eventually get a name and number... for a BP in Cleveland. They've finally just given up and told me to go to the web site and find my own d@mn partner. And IBM wonders why they don't make as much money as they could?
