Re: Firewall in AS400

Might be OK in a large shop, but small shops can't afford it. Besides
who would spend over $70,000 on an iSeries to run Linux when the exactly
the same benefit can be achieved with a PC costing less then $3,000. Its
only a firewall, doesn't need a vast amount of expensive hardware, just
a fast processor amd plenty of memory.
