Brad's following comment is a good point.  AS/400 multitasking is superior
to NT.  In theory, if you had enough Server threads running, it could
overwhelm the whole AS/400.  But its easy to configure some reasonable
limits.  Other work would not normally be affected by an attack on the HTTP
or SMTP servers.

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.)
