If you need an IBM i resource of some kind to be avalilable 24/7, you have

pay one way of the other exactly as you pay for the milk in the supermarket.

But if you just want to have access to test your system on a Crazy CCSid
etc.,
I'm sure you can find someone in the forums that could provide you to that
service.

Gent's - use your network - it is a matter of trust !
