Hi everyone: I am thinking about buying an entry level AS/400 model 170. It will be kept at my house and I will mostly be using it to do ILE programming, passthrough to other systems, CGI programming, and to learn some networking basics. I would also like to connect it to an Ethernet so it can work with my other 2 PC,s and try to have everything connect to the internet (maybe through a cable connection?) That way I, and other people can sign-on to it no matter where we are. I'm not sure if all this is possible, and if it is how much would it cost to have a setup like that. I am a software developer and not really a hardware person, so for me this will definitely be a learning experience, but since its not at a company site I don't have to worry about users trying to cut my head off If I take their network down :-) This is the configuration I am planning on for the 170. Please let me know what you think. Hardware: 9406-170 e-Server System Unit Modem PCI Cable V.24/EIA 232 20-ft Op con Cable Remote control Panel Cable Model 170 Processor 128 MB 2.5GB 1/4" Cart Tape (PCI) 4.19GB Disk Units (3) total 12.57GB Software: ILE RPG for AS/400 Query ADTS IBM SW subscription 1 Year Prepaid Note: I am inclined to remove the modem (to expensive) and the ADTS software (not sure if I will use it) I would likely buy a used modem somewhere for far less than the the U$460.00 I'm being quoted.
