Tony, I feel your pain. What I love is that we replaced the IFA's with a 2761only to turn around and replace it with a 2805. My circumstance is slightly different. I was using Fax/400 in conjunction with Quadrant's FastFax Blue. As a result of these problems I have upgraded to Quadrant's Enterprise Fax product and will be using an external fax controller. I had other reasons to go with this change (email integration, desktop integrations, etc.) so I didn't complain....... I realize the cost may never justify it but using an alternative solution may be a nice way to complain.......... Good luck. Michael Crump Saint-Gobain Containers 1509 S.

Supportline tells me that V5R3 will not support the 2761 card. Worse yet, I'm told that V5R3 will DISABLE this card. Unsupported I can live with (don't like it, but I can live with it). DISABLING the card is another matter altogether. Well, I just installed one of these, in the middle of a budget year, so the request had to go to upper management for approval. I'm trying to raise enough #@*! to get IBM NOT to do this to an extremely loyal IBM customer. The ONLY option I'm offered is eight (yes that's 8) modems to perform the Facsimile/400 function. This is not an acceptable solution. Very likely, we'll be stuck at V5R2. Which means, there'll be no use in paying for Supportline nor Software Subscription. Lost $$ for IBM and possibly a lost AS400 customer. And no, I don't need an 8xx box. We've still got untapped capacity on the 720. Most likely, IBM will FORCE the company to use a Windows "solution" for faxing, something I've been fighting for a long time now. Not very smart on IBM's part. If you are in my position, PLEASE start putting some pressure on IBM, while there's still time. This is the kind of thing that iNation is supposed to be all about. I've already started. And before you say it, a 2805 won't work in a 720 (my understanding). AS/Resources, Inc.
