To answer the above question, the Oracle Application [Web] Server,
unfortunately, isn't available for MPE, so we're using a HP 9000/K570-400 as
both Oracle DB server and Web server (it has crashed once since Nov. 99,
although the web server had to be restarted a couple more times than that).
Meanwhile, CSY wonders if the world needs a HP 3000 with a SSL web server?!?
