Re: [MI400] How does this software work??

["David Colford" <dcolford@xxxxxxxxxx>]

At next week's COMMON iSeries town hall meeting session (8-10 am Monday)
the IBM execs need to be responsible and

     1. Clear the air on CFINT on what it really is
     2. Be made aware of FAST400 and it's potential large risks

I am not going to Rochestor next week.. can some of of you be there to ask
IBM this and let us know what their official responses are.

Those are my questions. Does anybody have other pointed questions IBM need
to answer next week?

But hasn't IBM's -official- stance always been that CFINT is NOT a
governor,
that it is because of "technical" reasons it kicks in?  You all have been
arguing that this product might cause problems because it gets around a
governor, but IBM has never officially admitted that that is what CFINT is.
