Re: domino on AS400

We are using Domino on a 170.  The email is working very well.  
We are using Client Access for emulation, but a bonus was the 
fact that they gave us a notes mail client for all our client access 
users. I haven't tried the express client yet, but plan to.  We are 
using Notes Pump -(It has a new name now - LEI) to pump data to 
a field sales prospect system.  With the Domino system 4.63 you 
get DECS free which is the Interactive part of notes pump.  Domino 
isn't the best word processor - formating reports leaves something 
to be desired.  Depends what your users need to do.  It is a great 
communication vehicle though if you don't need formal reports or 
just pass it on the screen.  What else are you running on the 
AS/400?  If they are going to run green screen app's they will need 
some type of emulation.
