Back To The Future (Y2K Fun) -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

We've been doing some Y2K testing on a 3rd machine, carefully disabling
pass-thru to the test machine as long as the test machine has gone 'back to
the future.'

IBM recommends not doing any network stuff while the date on the test
machine is advanced.

And yet... we've gotten hints that there should be no reason to prevent
users from using display station pass through to access the test machine.

Has anyone encountered this testing scenario, and has anyone connected to
the future from their live network?

In the meantime, we're implementing a dial-in scenario, but it's not the
solution we'd like.
