Re: Security400 Digest, Vol 3, Issue 11

One online community may have connections to free dumb
terminals. Try going to freecycle.org 
I just went by a former employer and picked up 4 5250
terminals, plus all the pig tails, power cords,
twinax, etc. They have this stuff stacked up waiting
to throw away at many places. Some problems in certain
cities that have begun regulating commercial disposal
of computers. You should find it free for hauling away
if you contact local businesses. Try starting with a
chamber of commerce, better business bereau, etc.

Hey, I have an old AS/400 I got that way. Model 300.
V2R1, I think. It powers up, I get a console green
screen to sign on, but the QSECOFR password is not the
default. Neither is Qsysopr or qsecadm. With V5R3 I
can use the default 1111111 as it boots up, but this
box is way back on the OS. Any help or ideas? It is a
nice little box but I am unable to sign on!
