Has anyone had any experience running PC Support/400 from IBM on 
a vanilla clone?  

I have tried to run PC Support on three different brands of clones
and I have met with failure each time.  For those familiar with
PC Support, the component that fails is STARTRTR.  Just as soon as
you hit enter after this command, the machine hangs.

IBM tells me it's hardware.  Vendors say it's software.

I tend to believe it is software, since my other network applications
(TCP/IP, Novell Netware) work without a hitch on all the clones.

This is a Token Ring environment, BTW.

Any information will be welcome!
