Fw: Remote Control panel on 820 -- MIDRANGE-L

In our data center AS/400, and now iSeries, is often the odd one out, and in
constant need of defence versus Netfinity, SP2, RS/6000.
This includes a not properly working PC Console/Remote control, the space
the systems take up, and 3494 connectivity needing APPC (all other systems
connect with TCP/IP).

Best,
Bernd
