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

Brad,

        I really dont....(no offense taken...there are things i know and i
dont know...and usenet i guess is one of them)maybe ill check it out
sometime but i am new in the as/400 field(2 yrs) but not in the
computer/networking field..i guess thats why i do not know usenet.....i
guess when i say they're initimidating is that like you said hacking a BBS
is no fun...but hacking a string of NT servers is....they could do more
damage now than before.
