RE: TCP/IP Dial-In to AS/400

[BORING David <dboring@xxxxxxx>]

I would suggest using a Web hosting company to do this. They will assign
you some space on their server, then it is up to them to provide
security to THEMSELVES. If a hacker crashes their server, it is their
server, not your business. You just need an Internet connection to be
able to upload your changes to your page.

I have used Icom in the past (http://www.icom.com) and they seem to be
pretty good. They have a package right now for 10MB for $8.25 a month,
paid yearly. Can't go too wrong for that! They do charge $75 to set up
your site, but that is still cheaper than getting the phone company to
install a phone line to dial in to.
