I was always under the impression that NT boxes were very  inexpensive compared to AS/400. Today I was quoted a minimum of 25K for an NT box to serve as our web server, utilizing AS/400 data. This makes the upgrade from a 620 to an 820 much more attractive. Is this price correct for NT. Also, the vendor said that it would be hard to get an NT box now, that Microsoft was pushing the Windows 2K.


Phil to  that you can add all the  extra support needed, the cost of  downtime,and on it goes.  I would not put the NT support into the 620  as the INS is magnitudes slower then the 820 and its IXAs ( new name), the  scalability is also greater in the 8xx series.
