Let me explain in more detail.

My company has many customers in the mainframe, windows, Linux, Unix market 
place. Theya re just starting to get into the AS400/I5 area. We offer all the 
services of a managed service corporation, the customer selects what they 
actually want,need and are willing to pay for.

We are anticipation the addidtion of customers within the next 6 months. This 
system that I am looking at will be used as the main messenger operatoins 
system. All it will do is gather the messages sent to it by the other systems, 
do filter and then display the message to the operator or displatch it vie 
e-mail or text messaging.

We are looking at Messenger Plus product line and the Robot product line to 
determine which is best.

What we hope to end up with, would be 3 AS400 p20 group and one model 170 p10 
group. These system would send the message to the AS400 for display in our 
command center. Our operations staff would only have to sign on to one system 
to get all the messages. The company would like to have more customers on site 
before moving to a new I5. I have been trying to talk thenm into a big I5, LPAR 
it and sell the systems to many customers. Still waiting on an answer.

Hope that clears up what I am trying to accomplish.
