Thanks for that.

No, not really but it is sort of a cultural thing. The client is used to
paying big money for the Iseries stuff. For example a Nic on an Iseries is
$1500. They got into Linux to avoid the cost of the PC stuff, namely
Windows server licencing. The problem becomes that they spend so much on
the Iseries whey don't have much of a budget to go pay for PC server
licensing elseware.

They have 15 years for legacy programing on the Iseries, formally the
as/400, that they don't want to have to rewrite n something else so.....

Thanks for the response all. I do appreciate it.
