No doubt about it.  I'd have the drives mirrored so a single failure would
not effect me in the slightest.

MAJORDOMO runs using PERL 5.003, which has been ported to the '400.

In fact... the *ONLY* thing that prevents me from running the list on an
AS400 are the following...

1) Internet Connection... need UUCP protocal.  Might be able to port UUCP
to the '400, as it's POSIX compliant.
2) Lack of SENDMAIL on AS400.  Majordomo might be able to be adapted.
3) (and the biggest problem) NO AS/400!

Now... if someone wants to donate an AS400 to the list (doesn't have to be
a big one) AND can help in the porting effort... maybe we've got something :)
