Hey, newb member here, but anyways, I got a Model 150 too. It's great (even at V4R5); I love the OS, rock solid, and design wise way ahead of its time. Integrated DB, lots and lots of built-in command help. Relatively simple to maintain and feed. The nice thing about the 150 is even at V4R5, the licensing for software features isn't enabled so one can do a lot of different things on it. It may not have the latest web code or the latest RPG dev tools but otherwise you can run a whole business on it, if you can program it. The last business I worked with switched from twinax to ethernet finally so I inherited a bunch of twinax controllers, cables, adapters, etc. BTW, you don't need the full twinax cable if you can get the baluns (adapters) that let you use RJ11 or RJ45 cabling instead. The baluns aren't that expensive ($20-30) and it's way easier to run RJ11 or RJ45 port to port. The 150 always comes with a twinax brick and all you need is the baluns to convert to RJ. Get a pair ($50) for your twinax console; then get an ethernet IOP and you run ethernet with Client Access Express. Works great.
Of course, it'd be nice to have a newer box at V6Rx but I'll have to save the dollars for that.....
