Thanks Brian -- All very valid points. Your 'rainbow connection' on the screen sparked some interesting ideas. Spicing up the display will not replace Call of Duty (or even minesweeper), but it has some value added.
Since our mainframe and its intended audience are right next door to each other, I am strongly leaning to an air gapped tiny network that can fly under the radar of the Windows domain and network admin crowds. 'Evil internet' hackers would have a REALLY tough time getting to a hardwired local configuration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
