I know of several that still have listings in various AS/400 directories like 
from the trade press each year --- AS/400 yellow pages, one of the places I 
went to IBM school last year was also in this business ... there are a couple 
we use intermittently for some stuff that is not on IBM maintenance (eg. old 
work stations no longer economically supported by IBM maintenance) & there's 
another that I drive past on way to work & it still has their name on the 
building.  When I got my home PC upgraded, the place I selected was one that 
supports internal wiring for both AS/400 & builds PCs & I thought their web 
site on Y2K was extremely well done.  These kind places obviously still exist 
but their marketing seems to have died down in intensity, perhaps because I 
am such a hard sell & now have voice mail that does not get answered for many 
cold calls.
