LS,

NT is just a tool.  And so is our beloved AS/400.  If you choose to not use
all of the tools at your disposal, cool.  Your customers will become my
customers.

Regarding Exchange server vs AS/400 SMTP, from what I have heard the AS/400
SMTP pretty much sucks.  And MS Exchange is very good.  Use the best tool
for the job.  In this case, it is NT.

The discussion is not about data base applications.

Regards,
Bob Crothers

With the AS/400 you can afford to spend a little time in the sand, after
all there are no security snafu's like the Win2000 fiasco a few weeks
ago.
As for data base applications, there is little or no data base server
administration on the AS/400 compared to the mountains of work it takes
to keep the BSOD at bay with WinXXX.
Take the average AS/400 and the average NT box and compare uptime. NT is
a cute little OS, but nowhere near as solid as OS/400 never has been and
never will.
