Not too long ago I misspoke myself by typing that I felt Client Access was
one of the few things done right. What I meant is that the 5250 emulation
area is one of the few areas of the 400 that is going well (IMO). There are a
number of different packages available.

Oddly enough I have been using CA for the last several months and have had no
problems with it, but I just use it for 5250 so it could be that I don't push
it too much. However, I have seen problem after problem reported here about
it. 

If it weren't for AS/400 shops habit of buying whatever gets bundled, this is
a product that wouldn't survive.

How often can you afford to be unexpectedly out of business?
Get an AS/400.
