Jim, thanks for your reply.
Yes, it is cast iron and yes we have a crawl space under the house to gain
access to the sewer pipes.

I have a toilet that is leaking water on the bathroom floor. The leak

thought it was the wax gasket that needed to be replaced. When we
removed
the toilet to replace the wax gasket we found that the flange that the
toilet attaches to is almost gone due to corrosion. Is there something
like
a repair kit or some type of fitting that can be used to correct this
problem so we can bolt the toilet down to the floor tightly? Thanks for
any
help with my problem.

You will need to find out more about the construction.
Is it all cast iron?
Is it a lead bend with a brass flange soldered on?

Oatey makes a plastic flange with an expanding lower section
which can be slipped inside a 4" pipe and then expanded to seal.

If it's a deteriorated lead bend, you'll have to tread carefully
as it may not be possible to make a good seal.

Is there access below (basement) where the connection into the
stack could be replaced if it came to that?
