RE: Alternate to iSeries -- MIDRANGE-L

AIX, being Unix, is probably easier to penetrate than iSeries. AFAIK, there has been no successful hacking of an iSeries that did not come from the inside or involve poor security setups - default passwords, etc. Why in the world would he want to use any other system that has greater potential for being hacked?

I know, Leif S, et al, can say there are ways. But most of these still need some access to the box first. And it is as vulnerable to denial-of-service as any other system on a public network.

There are other RPG platforms...I've written on most of them, but I
don't know of one that supports RPG/IV and especially not ILE. You
might try a PC platform, like ASNA or something. Maybe VisualAge RPG on
an Intel server with DB2?
