arcIMS has two "modes":
- dump a map graphic (image server) or
- spew map data (data server).

cf/asp/html/ works with the image server. you'll need a java client for the
latter, nasty client install (basically java arcexplorer) & fire hosing all
that data (nightmare about nepal contours or LA parcels) at some client is
hard on bandwidth but you can edit/markup the data.

i should also say that arcIMS is the devil's un-employed brother-in-law when
it comes to installation. if you visit their support forums, most volume is
devoted to install problems. folks who talk say they average 7 installation
attempts (i hit 17 tries once) per deployed server....it could be better. i
get a kick out of folks complaining about cfmx installs ;-)
