Mainframes are *not* specified for office environment (rather

I am not sure what machines you are talking about but 4300s and AS400s
were office space rated. These were around before most people had ever
heard of a server or a LAN.

Ok, let me try again, slower. AS/400 and 4300s are/were what we
now call "departmental servers". /370, ES/9000s were relegated to
data centers and are rated for a "class-A" environment only. Note
that "office space" rating isn't exactly harsh either.
