Re: AS/400 as a web server -- MIDRANGE-L

Michael,

We are running a PIX firewall here.  I personally don't configure 
it, the 'Cisco kids' do.  You can talk to them.  Better do that 
offline.

I'm no expert by any stretch in the area of firewalls but we like what we hear
other people are saying about the CISCO PIX 520...........all flames will be
ignored since I am ignorant.....

I personally think that the AS/400 is a great web server.  The only part of
the AS/400 strategy that fell apart was the notion of the firewall in the
IPCS (or whatever the @#$%) they are calling it this week.

You should get a firewall appliance, or use an NT based firewall.  IBM blew it.
