RE: Feature number of modem on 520

I want to get them into a DSL arrangement so that I can
get to them from that angle but I have never used that
method myself so that will be an adventure also.
(I assume DSL is a good method.)

I have several clients that use a DSL ISP & I also use a DSL ISP.  I
have never had any issues...(other than my wintel machine that has CA
installed...but that's not really relevant..just a personal rant free of
charge ;-)

If the company has a DSL ISP..use it...you'll be glad you did...

As to client access, there are other alternative 5250 emulators (albeit
in IMO very inferior to CA) that you can use, mochasoft, Rumba, dang
near any if not all 5250 emulators.  Just setup the connection to the
company's DNS or IP & log on.... 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Instead of ponying up the money for a modem, dial up connections, etc - 
why not use the internet?  Do they already have internet access for
email, 
etc?  Then hook up via that way.  Unlike the myth of a system "coming
with 
twinax as a standard" they do come with ethernet.
