RE: MS Tech Note

I did some look up on this... This section is discussing the SNA Open Gateway 
Architecture, which provided a mechanism for accommodating SNA Gateways on a 
TCP/IP network using the MS Distributed Link Service.  The last paragraph that 
started this topic refers to customers who are still isolating their host 
systems on private network segment.  In that scenario a multihomed HIS Server 
can allow a remote HIS Server to use one of its distributed link services on 
the private network.  This is not a discussion of why a customer would isolate 
their host systems.    It simply refers to a practice that was common 6 years 
ago.

Windows Server 2003 can participate in a reliable two-phase protected
distributed transaction with the OS/400. This can be accomplished by
utilizing one of the three (3) Microsoft data providers for DB2.

You might infer that but they are outright saying that THEY can't
provide an
environment that ensures reliable and secure access for mission-critical
daily operations.
 
So based on that page, you could say that if you run MS servers you
don't
have a need for reliable & secure access to them...or that you have no
mission-critical operations.
 
Looks like the content was not reviewed by the marketing group.

Are they implying that there is a problem running TCP/IP on as400s and 
mainframes?
