A few thoughts... 1) What's the viability of the existing software package? Will it need to be replaced? Will it need to be re-written to native 400? At what cost? 2) What are you spending today to keep these 436's in production? Manpower, HW maintenance, environmentals. etc.? 3) What's your time frame to cut over to a central server? You can never start too early but you can start too late on a project like this. 4) Can you do any software conversions/enhancements in house or must you engage an consultant? Just a start...

Hello gang We have five Advanced system 36 machines still out in our branches, with a splendid record. Over the past several years, and because of the rapid acceleration in technology, the /36 solution is becoming less and less viable. I would very much appreciate any suggestions you might have with respect to the replacement, both in terms of the HW and SW. I believe an OS400/ISeries replacement at these remote branches would be over-kill. A central ISeries, with the appropriate SW, and VPN was more in line with what I had in mind... All suggestions welcome....
