RE: CA for Win95 (on IE4.01)

["Randy W." <rawong@xxxxxxxx>]

Thank-you Vernon for your suggestions.

The problem still exists, but am now using a freeware to shut down the
machines.  It works everytime.  I'm getting a little weary with this PMR
sent to IBM.  It's still open.  It seems like I'm running in circles again
and could be a "user environment problem."  IBM is telling me to try what I
did 3 months ago, i.e., load clean and etc.  I'm looking at Netsoft now as a
possible alternative.    I just don't know what to do.  :(

By the way, has anyone successfully connected CA/400 95/NT using Win98?
I've only used Win98 rc1 and it failed.  I asked IBM Support when they will
support Win98 and they had no formal ETA.  Hard part for us, Win98 will soon
be shipping with our new PCs the new fiscal year.  Looks like we need to
downgrade to Win95 (OSR1 or OSR2.)  Heavy sigh.  For the PCs, how I wish for
the DOS and terminal days again......heavy sigh.  (I'm probably showing my
youth here compared to some of the *old*, real old timers.) <BG>

Thanks again and hope the weather is as terrible there in MN as it is in
Hawaii.  :D

Other than the terrible weather, what problems can you have? <vbg>

Concerning your point 6), there are (were?) known problems using CLIENT32.
I don't know if this is still the cass, but go to
<http://www.as400.ibm.com.clientaccess> . There you can get to a large
number of info APARs, addressing many issues, including compatibility
issues. There are documents listing tested hardware and software
compatibilities. I won't promise that it'll answer all your concerns, but
it may hit some of them.

Aloha (Hawaiian for "Cheers" <g>)
