Having dealt with it, we were more than a tad frustrated that IBM decided
to abandon it instead of fixing it so it would work without being such a
pain in the *equus asinius,* but given that Linksys routers with firewalls
are a dime a dozen, and work somewhat better than the AS/400 firewall did,
it's understandable.

Hardest part was converting from Token Ring to Ethernet, with most of our
boxes long-since-unsupported.
