The IBM 3278 terminal that I've been waiting for is now officially lost. UPS even said so! What I found out is that when you track a package on UPS, most of the "scans" you see are logical scans. That is, where UPS *thinks* the package is. UPS doesn't actually know where a package is unless there are "physical" scans. At certain points in a package's travels, there will be occasional physical scans but they are not as often as UPS's tracking would imply. It turns out that with my 3278 terminal, there was not *one* physical scan. The folks at UPS said that is *very* unusual. It could mean that it's sitting where the shipper dropped it off (here's hoping) and never actually went anywhere. It's not like it's a small package (145# in a wooden crate). So it's not likely to have been misplaced. ;-) The other thing that I found out about UPS, is that they don't really want to talk to the receiver. They only want to talk to the shipper. Fortunately the shipper in this case has been really helpful and willing to deal with UPS on my behalf. So, anyone know where there's an IBM 3278/9 terminal available? ;-) TTFN - Guy
