It is recommended to use Data Access Components from v6r1, the .NET
provider has been rewritten with .Net2.0 as someone mentioned before.

   Do you know if there is a version of client access that I can load
for
   just the driver?

 You'd only need client access on the web _server_. The clients aren't
 taking to the iSeries, they're taking to the web server, only the web
 server is talking to the iSeries.



 Isn't there a plain old ODBC that I could use?


 Nope. The ODBC "driver" is specific to the database you're connecting
 to. Just like the .Net driver for iSeries, there's an ODBC driver for
 iSeries. But again, it doesn't matter, The "client" isn't talking to
the
 iSeries, only the server is.
