Well, things seem to back to normal now.

Well, there are a few other issues that need to be considered ...

1. I'm hoping to move away from the ISP in the next few months ... so 
giving it to them is kind of moot.  In addition, they have no idea what to 
do with an AS/400 (they are unix based).

2. I don't have the time, money, space, or resources, to maintain a system 
... I couldn't afford a OS400 license, and don't have any place to put the 
system.

3. The software I'm currently running is very unix centric... so running it 
on an AS/400 would be difficult at best.

Thanks very much for the consideration though.
