If I was hacking a mainframe I wouldn't start with the mainframe, I'd start with the sysprog or security admin's PC or Mac or email or phone or whatever. In that case it doesn't matter one bit how well the mainframe is protected internally. And please stop with the political remarks. This seems to be the one place on earth I can go without reading about politics. A place where I can enjoy a 50+ post back-and-forth between Seymour and Gil, for example, without hearing one word about US politics.
