I remember from a recent meeting with IBM that some of the messages used 
in the protocols which make up the SNA architecture were _not_ year 2000 
compliant.  These messages have been "fixed" and/or replaced (where in 
some cases, the "fix" is use the new field) or the same field now has a 
different meaning.

Do any of the IBM IC products use any of the messages/fields?
If so, have the products been changed to use the fix?
