James Rich said: <<I think Syd's point is that he doesn't want *any* client to run the machine. You should be able to operate the iSeries without relying on another computer to work.>> Why would need a gui to do that? The iSeries is not a PC, it is a server. We have always attached a display devise be it a dumb 5250 terminal or some other device. Why must servers have a self contained gui? You can still do 90% of everything you need to do from a 5250 interface which could be done with any dumb terminal adapter that IBM could integrate into the box. The iSeries is not self contained in its current incarnation by any stretch of the imagination, why would this model be any different? If the iSeries were ported to pure low end pSeries (RS6000) hardware, you could probably use its monitor, keyboard, and mouse with a native XWindows interface. The NetVista thin clients have that much logic on a chip... Bob Cancilla Republic Indemnity Company of America (818)382-1023
