Start by asking them if their intent is to put an IPCS running NT on the
AS/400 and loading Oracle to the NT server inside the AS/400. 

Yes, in theory, this can be done.  But if it is a large customer, NT
(400 or no) will choke on scaling for the Oracle server.

Could be just the usual ploy.  Put it up.  It runs so bad.  Hey, how
about a Unix server?  Never mind it had nothing to do with the 400, just
NT.
