RE: Denial of Service, Good for AS/400?

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't really see how it could.  It may shut down the HTTP or SMTP server
instances, but not the whole box.  That's the difference between a PC and an
AS/400.

I could be wrong, but I'd be interested in hearing what others thing and
why.  ("why" is the important part.)
