Those who have been around the list for a while remember my gripe with
requirements and submission of them - I won't repeat them here.

But I did have an idea..... What if there was some way to track what requests
had been submitted to IBM?  Dave Kalendarian has provided the number of the
V3 for VM requirement.... What if we posted the information about a request
to the list when we submitted one, so others would have a chance to say "Me
too!"!  Or perhaps someone who can develop Internet web pages (I'm limited to
Intranet) could build a page of the ones that had been supplied by other list
members.....

I keep thinking there has to be a better way here..... What do others think?

Hi Bil,

Call 1 800 IBM 4YOU (426-4968) and ask for the Tech line for your area. (I ask
for the Northeast tech line). When you get to your local IBM rep, tell
them you want to fill out a 'system request'. Since a request for ADSM V3 on
VM has already been created, you shouldn't have to fill out a form. Just
ask to have your site added to the ADSM V3 on VM requirement number 00066512.
Let me know how it goes.
