RE: Ready to scrap an AS/400 -- MIDRANGE-L

This is why there are dedicated servers for Domino.
Perhaps your system is not sized correctly for your requirements.  That is
not the fault of the as400, rather it is the fault of the person who sold
you it, and the person who configured it.

Regards,
Stuart
