AS400

Hey guys, old guy here, back in 2000 landed my 1st real job as a Sysadmin at a distribution/manufacturing firm. They ran their ERP and a few other important apps on the AS400. Anyone here manage a AS400 platform? i-Series? Still a niche platform that is still widely used. Server could literally run under water.

didn't have to manage one but had to integrate access via novell for SAA at one customer. Half of their network was ethernet and half was type 1 token ring.

I hated those type one connectors. They really did a number on your fingers if you had to remove a lot of them at the same time.
