I take it you haven't been in many 400 installations, so that will answer the question about why somebody is using twinax. Twinax remains a large part of MANY installations and as such, will require that you learn how to deal with it. The connection over twinax is fairly simple and can be handled by any number of emulation cards. IBM sells a PCI Express card that runs tcp/ip over twinax or somebody like Bosa Nova has vanilla cards with emulation. What has "paying for a proper job" got to do with the installing a emulation card ?? Just being curious, but how do you "normally" attach a pc to a 400 ???
