Agreed...  Microsoft security is not to be trusted.   So the next question
is, once a hacker has full control of your NT box (the one running IIS)
what can they use that box to access on the rest of your LAN?

Is there a firewall between the IIS machine and the AS/400?  Will it stop
attacks originating from the IIS machine?
