Re: Terminal server..

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We did this with an earlier model of AS/400 (a model 270 with an 800Mhz 
IPCS) It worked well but we didn't see an inherent advantage to having 
the "integration" of the IPCS.  If you have apps that use something like 
MS Access or other apps that are moving a lot of data to/from the 
iSeries, the "integrated" approach is great because of the virtual lan 
connection between the x-server and iSeries is fast, otherwise, we 
didn't have a compelling reason to continue down that path.

However, as I understand it, the cross-management capabilities have 
improved. 

We are looking at using VNC in the PASE environment to serve up 
X-Windows desktops that do just 5250 and web browsing. In that 
environment, everything runs on the iSeries with no other hardware 
required.  Most X-Windows clients are supported.
