Re: More info on V4R5 to V5R2..Hardware

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

And if you do something like Direct Inward Dialing of faxes into your 
Domino Fax for iSeries using the Multitech DID modem some of those older 
comm ports will make that rather violently ill.  But a 2742 is ok.

Yup, the optical is going to need changing.

Which reel tape drive do you have? Better be 9348 or you're in trouble...

The rest of the stuff you have will still work. Depending on how hard 
you're 
driving the rest of the stuff you may have to shuffle comm lines.

We have lots of customers running the stuff indicated as having 
performance 
limitations but nobody has experienced any related issues. This includes 
some 
fairly large 730's that run pretty hard all day.

I would definetely look at your upgrade path and plant seeds for a 
replacement 
box with 'da boss'.
