I've just completed the same process, as an independent consultant.  And while 
ICC (IBM Credit Corporation) is a bit stringent about credit, it really wasn't 
that bad.  I'm in fact getting a model 270 delivered in March, and I just got 
done signing the papers.

It's an incredible deal, and I wholheartedly recommend it.

Joe

    What kind of legal and marketing commitments are they requiring? 
When I got my lease a couple of years ago, all I had to promise was 
that I would develop an AS/400 product.  Since I already had several, 
it was a no-brainer.  I didn't even have to commit to marketing a NEW 
product, ongoing development of existing products was enough to 
qualify.

    And I certainly don't remember any legal requirements other than 
lease terms - what kind do you mean?

    I guess a lot has changed, because the process really wasn't that 
bad when I went through it, especially when you realize you're 
dealing with IBM...
