I'm not sure why you think IBM is not playing by the rules more
than the "little guys."  Companies announce products before they're
available all the time.  Sometimes even before they've been developped.

Well, IBM's a little more conservative.  They announce them and when
they'll be ready to go.  IBM's TCP/IP for MVS exists, they just won't
sell it to you yet.  I've seen it demo'd and I've talked to the people
who wrote it.  One of the odd things about IBM's TCP development (as
opposed to other things in IBM, as well as vendors in general) is that
you find the actual people who did the work at the shows who can answer
questions as to what was done.  You can report bugs and get responses
directly from them.

IBM gets a lot of pot-shots taken at it, many of them probably well deserved,
but this is one area where it is unwarranted.
