While ssh on os/400 would be interesting (as would X11 on os/400) I wonder
if trying to get ssh to run on it would be any
better/easier/cheaper/faster/safer than using your favorite *BSD or linux
installation.  You may already have a spare box laying around which means
you could implement this for $0.  A heckuva lot easier to maintain since
there are already companies doing this for you.  Security updates to ssh
would be no problem to install.  Lots of other good reasons to make things
easy on yourself.

I guess I'm thinking this, "Use the right system for the right job."  Most
things networked started out unix, and unix is dang good at it.  OS/400 is
dang good at database and business stuff.  Windows is dang good at, um,
I'll think of something...
