Re: NT v AS400

According to Frank Soltis, NT running on the Integrated Netfinity server is 
about
15% more reliable than on a stand alone PC server. He says that is because it is
sitting next to a "real" operating system (his word) that monitors it and keeps
it alive by automatically rebooting it as necessary if OS/400 determines that 
the
NT is flaking out.
