I apologize for the slow reply, I have been caught up to the neck with
work! Wow, what an interesting read this thread has been, you guys
certainly have lots of experience.
Thanks Roderick for the link to DMH Software, I'll have a look at it,
and thanks Frantisek, that was an interesting read. I fully agree on not
touching stuff that works. I'll try to use the examples you described to
convince the IT-adm dept that this idea is bad.
The machines are indeed physical with custom made ISA Bus controller
cards, built on prototype board, and only 4 were made, 2 in production
and to spares. I find this stressful, sure the two production cards have
been in use since decades ago without failing, but it is not a viable
long term solution to rely on these controllers.
But as you guys said, it's working on borrowed time; my long term plan
is to eventually replace the legacy equipment with something more
ubiquitous. Sometimes it feels like working in a museum. But as Michael
wrote, $$$ is always an issue, as well as time and lastly everything is
so insanely poorly documented!
I also got the IBM Systemview agent working, and it is indeed SNMP
compatible, and the OS/2 is not controlling any equipment :)
Have a good evening!
Anton
