You're not alone at all, Chuck.  My current primary client still has the same
number of people dedicated full-time to AS/400 support as they did when I
started there -- six more _LARGE_ AS/400's and 4 more mission-critical
applications later.  The problem?  IBM sold the /400's under the old S/36
model of how many administrators you need for this sort of installation --
written before the /400 supported the number of users and the amount of DASD
that it does today.  I keep asking the "Tech Services" folks just how many
times the company can double the number of AS/400's it has without increasing
their staff.  The "breakover" number appears to be ten at this point...

No Help, But _LOTS_ of Sympathy,
