If the hardware comes with the V5R1 CDROM and "proof of entitlement" 
doesn't that mean I get the base licensed O/S software with it?  I  
didn't think you had to buy anything additional from IBM to use 
the operating system.  Maybe I misread what you wrote (not uncommon).

Of course, if I have to buy the SEU/PDM tools, then I assume it 
would be necessary to contact IBM and pay the big bucks - which
is *exactly* what I'm afraid of :(

Technically, IBM owns the software (O/S, licensed code, etc.), you are just
licensed to use it. And as far as I know, such entitlement can't be
transfered without their say-so. So the box may very well run as delivered,
but you won't be getting any love from IBM until you fork over the $$$. (And
if it crashes, and requires a re-install, cross your fingers.)

You will have to buy the developement tools. They used to be part of the
'Application Developement' tools, now they are part of websphere.
