Not sure I follow you. In order to run WDSC/RDi I still need that big Windows PC. Serving the interface via Jetty takes even more PC. Theoretically, if I could get my network folks to poke a hole in the firewall, I could use my browser at home to work with my System i at work, but I'd still need the Windows PC at work, wouldn't I?

Regarding the web interface, it doesn't like RSE. The editor pane shows the sequence numbers, so it's like it isn't using the RSE editor. Other plug-ins act funny too (EclipseWiki).
