Other priorities were handed me and I haven't tried it again. At this point whether we keep our iSeries (Model 820) or not is very much up in the air.

I've got a support request open w/IBM concerning Sql performance (a user ran a Crystal Reports query against a view on the iSeries and it took 100% of the processor 1 hour to return the resultset. I then used DTS to move the entire table over to an MS Sql Server (no RAID), created the view and index exactly as it is on the iSeries and had my user connect to MS Sql Server. The resultset was returned in 70 seconds - nearly 60 times faster).

Since our primary use of the iSeries would be as an sql platform, it's future here doesn't look very bright. If, by some miracle, it stays here then I will look back through this thread to get SSH running on it.

Thanks to * for the help and interest.
