RE: Fast400 Value to iSeries community is less than zero

I'm guessing the 400 (even with the cost of the interactive penalty) would
compare quite well, and probably favorably, against Citrix and Terminal
Server.  AFAIK, the 400 isn't losing massive sales to either of these.

I don't recall for a fact, but the 400/IXS probably provides the alternative
option of hosting this kind of software.
