Now that I've begun marketing a framework for developing ILE based Web
applications, I have an interest in this issue.  I hope companies will
overcome their fear of the Internet and connect their 400s to the Web.

I'd like to discuss specific fears, and talk about 400 solutions to those
concerns, rather than the alternative idea of moving data and applications
off the 400.  Any takers?
