Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you use the AS/400 ?

hmmm.  Interesting.  Oh well.  We already on the time to do a multi step
upgrade, so no looking back now. ;)

As far as samba, postgresql and PHP.  It was my solution to notepad if we
could get the data out.

Move the contents of notepad into a database (Postgresql is my weapon of
choice).  Use PHP, a server side scripting language for web applications, to
write a web app that has text search functionality and data entry.  The
users will have a webpage open that will have a "enter claim number here"
field.  They put in a claim number and it would query the database and
return all diary entries.  It would also have edit fields to add new
information to the database.  SAMBA is a linux application that will emulate
a windows Domain controller.  I do all my network authentication with it.  I
can tie in a module to have the web application query my SAMBA server for
security.
