You get the protection of AS/400 reliability, RAID-5, etc. In the event of the 'blue screen of death', instead of having the operator re-boot the system, any user with access to the system (and proper authority) can vary off the IPCS and vary it on, with an option 2 and an option 1. Also, there are many firms in a highly distributed environment with no technical personnel in remote offices. These firms who want both AS/400 services and NT functions can get both from the same box. If the proper PC software, the NT console functions can be executed from a remote environment. > >Also, it is my understanding the IBM will announce the availability of >NT on the IPCS in the February annoucements.

It requires the new IPCS, which has it's own NT console, keyboard and mouse.
