I was a die hard SEU,SDA,RLU guy. After 3 months using CODE/400, I wouldn't be without it. That's not saying it doesn't nee some help. There is a course available for download at http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400/pdf/CodeLab_Course_21LF.pdf. It's not too bad.

How do you have your PC connected. I was on twinax and got dreadful results. When I called IBM they said, "We don't have anyone using it on twinax to test with. Once I was hooked up with Ethernet, it has worked much better. ddh ----- Original Message ----- From: <Gwecnal@aol.com> To: <CODE400-L@midrange.com> Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 11:52 AM Subject: Re: Getting started with Code/400 > I have tried two or three times to use Code/400.
