A virus-infected NT Server running on the IPCS has the same likelihood of
directly affecting AS/400 objects as a virus-infected NT Server running on
an external server: none.

What are your expectations with the IPCS card? What apps do you expect to
run on it? Given that you have "a rather large" PC network, do you think the
IPCS can scale well enough for you? How big is "rather large"?

The IPCS card (whoops, make that the Integrated Netfinity Server), seems
like a great deparmental file and print server to me, but I question its
capabilities when it comes to serving up NT for lots of users. Just wondered
what you thought.
