Re: System name weirdness

Hi, James:

This sounds to me like this is just a "naming convention" where the "ASP" prefix is used to designate a machine or LPAR that is "outsourced" and running on some kind of service bureau ... why not just ask them?

So far, so good: 7 characters, which is below the 8-character limit for
system name.

But for some reason, the user tells us it's "ASPQ123TST"
That, of course, raised a red flag with me, since it's 10 characters,
over the limit; that's why I had them send us a DSPNETA on the box.

Can anybody think of a reason why the user would think the system name
was different from what the system itself reported?
