RE: ca/extended dos not supported in v4r5. why not?

["Neil Palmer" <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm one step behind that.  I still have an old XT clone with an SDLC card 
and a 7855 modem at home to use to connect to my 400 if our Internet 
connection or PPP modem fail.   It's using PC Support Basic DOS, and 
connects fine at V4R5.

Thank you.  I knew there was a reason we could not  upgrade to 4.5  We 
have the same problem.  If you upgrade and it  works, please post here.

Subject:  ca/extended dos not supported in v4r5. why not?


My shop wants to upgrade its 720 from v4r3 to  v4r5, but cannot because it 
uses an imaging system running on a pc which  connects to the as400 using 
client access for extended dos,  5763-xb1.
 
A review of posts on this subject indicates  that the client access for 
dos will still work under v4r5, but IBM  documentation says it is not 
supported and ibm support people say "maybe it  will work, maybe it will 
not work".
 
We cannot be sure that the next time we load a  ptf cum that the dos pc 
will be able to connect. And if it does not connect,  IBM has stated that 
they will not help resolve any problems.
 
Why will IBM not assure its customers that  ca/dos will work on its future 
releases as it has on past  releases?
 
They can discontinue any "how to" support if  they want, we just want them 
to assure us that if they break their own code in  the future, that they 
will fix it.
