Re: Model 400 upgrade cost

Terry --

I have bought several model 400 systems.  The tricky part is finding out if
the V4R3 software is actually licensed to the box you are buying.  If it is,
the V4R3 operating system license transfers with the box.  Other IBM LPP
(licensed program products) that are licensed to your new system can also be
transferred if the seller gives you the certificates of ownership to prove
that the ownership actually transferred (sort of like a automobile pink
slip).

So the cost of software may be zero, depending on what licenses can be
transferred.

Be careful that you have enough memory and disk to do what you want, the
newer operating systems require a lot of memory...  Upgrading the hardware
may be hard and/or expensive.

For their next act, they'll no doubt be buying a firewall running under NT,
