Should IBM consider a return of OS/2?

A systems integrator close to the computing giant swears there's a

move >afoot inside IBM to reintroduce the operating system -- revered by

some, reviled by many --before it faded out more than 10 years ago. He
has heard this from inside Big Blue itself.



Interested constituencies would include "AS/400, and S390 users that
love OS/2 Communications Manager, SNA [Systems Network Architecture]
and newer LU/PU-style connectivity, even some on isolated APIPA
[Automatic Private IP Addressing] subnets," the integrator said.

Has this "integrator" just woken from a 14 year coma?
