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!

You know...  this really ticks me off.  Here's IBM out scrambling to make
the AS/400 an internet machine to fend off the NT onslaught and needing
experience, exposure, and practice.  Here's the midrange list, AS/400 User
Groups, and all sorts of AS/400 friends just dying for the AS/400 to
succeed..  wouldn't you think some one at IBM would say "lets run our own
AS/400 on the 'net and see what happens? Lets offer to host friend's needs
on it?  Let's call David, and get the Code/400 list anf  the Java/400 list
on here too."  but nooooo.....  they can't take a few lousy bucks and
preach to the choir and show us it can be done, and how.
