The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
FYI I have run into several products where a space after a user name, DNS name, or IP address causes havoc. This feature is not restricted to IBM.
HEY all you programmers out there, IGNORE trailing blanks. (OK preaching to the choir but I feel better now.)

Subject: Re: IBM ACS "Feature" In case you can't connect
Thanks, Rob. I'm familiar. I rant often about not using IPs (or host
table entries) and instead to use DNS and host names, but that's more for
web services, email servers, etc. that are on the intra/inter-web.

I would guess 3 out of 4 IBM i machines I work on do not have DNS servers
specified. 2 of 4 will ping something (like smtp.office365.com) from their
PC and create a host table entry on the i for the one IP address that
happens to get returned. *shudder*.
In this case they are internal IPs for machines that I'm working with a
VPN. I doubt many customers set up their telnet IPs in a DNS. But I can
bet some actually do.
Maybe I'll test if a space after a hostname also causes this issue. ;)
