It will really depend on the release of OS/400 which you are on as to the
webserver you choose to play with. Prior to V420 then it should be
INET's
Commerce server if you are looking for native 400 capability with SSL
support, IBM's ICS product wasn't very good then. At V420 then
CommerceServer and ICS are very close together not that much to
choose
between them at all. Then at V430 its IBM's HTTP Server (renamed from
ICS)
which is by far the best product, it can do a lot of things and has more
options than you will probably use which can make it seem very
complicated
sometimes. The options are good the presentation and explanation of
how they
work not so good.

Also at V430 you now see BETA code for the Apache port to the
AS/400, which
is a whole new OPEN ballgame, and also INET are porting across the
Netscape
server to the 400. Both are looking good with Apache bringing us in line
with most of the other platforms and it will be interesting to see how
many
of its plugins will be ported to the 400.

So my personal advice at the moment is get onto V430 and use IBM's
HTTP
server its free built in and has SSL support, then take a look at Net.Data.

Thanks
