I think your biggest problem would be to find a version of financials for that environment. As in actual compiled code that will run in the mainframe. Options in that arena are quite limited. Of course most of ORACLE products run in UNIX, but that's native UNIX as in HP, Solaris, etc. I don't think os/390 actually emulates at hardware level any of these?
