I'd laugh if I could. This is an application that was begun for a
mainframe maaany years ago and has been translated with the minimum
change (effort I would say) through different platforms since then. I
would dump the whole thing If I could.

So, my next suggestion will be leaving that dinosaur alone and have a
Linux box by its side to deal with the app server and the apache-ssl
business. Or better, two. They will cost as much as the memory upgrade
that the Sun is going to need.

Thank you again
