Re: when buying an as/400 what do you look for?

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mohammad:
Sure you can get an AS400 for your house.  When I first started my business
I ran it from my basement and had my trusty E04 right there with me.  The
boxes are getting relativly cheap for what they were years ago.  The smaller
machines run on regular 110VAC power.  You will need to buy tubes/printers
separately and you can hook up a dot matrix printer depending on the
configuration.

FYI, our company also offers an AS400 time share arrangement over the
Internet you developers like you.  If you are interested in that service,
please email me off line at cgalgano@ediconsulting.com.

Carl
