Quite possibly - however getting current software (my example is BEA Weblogic Server) certified for it is a major undertaking/hassle. Because of a deteriorating number of users. However, BEA is certifying for use on eg. Linux AND Linux/390. /Per (not a BEA employee any more) regards, Per Jessen, Zurich http://www.enidan.com - home of the J1 serial console.
