Anyone who buys raid drives, mirrored systems,24x7 uptime & a working DR plan to run a real shop has no business with brand-x throw-a-ways. jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Stone" <brad@bvstools.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 10:22 PM Subject: Re: NICs - bottleneck (was Re: Dropping the AS/400 as a Web servi ng platform) > Chris, you're missing the point. > > I don't know how many nics you can put in any iSeries.
