RE: signon failure - network neighborhood

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

JT,

This is going to turn into one of those discussions on how a dumb terminal 
is so much better than a PC, right?  And I assume that you only have a 
dumb terminal on your desk?  If so, it's not a bad email client.

Listen, if the average user has a PC on their desk, (since there is no 
twinax outside of our computer room, that applies to us anyway), then why 
not use the GUI if:
They already have the PC
The GUI is similar in performance
The interface is "arguably" better
The stability of the gui interface is similar to the stability of the 
telnet session on their PC.

You think IBM loses any sales of the iSeries because it doesn't have a 
command interface into disabled user profiles?

No, Rob, you are command-line phobic.  You illustrated that when you 
posted
your conclusion that the "QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/QRPGLESRC.FILE/PGMSRC.MBR"
syntax was EASIER than "MYLIB/QRPGLESRC(PGMSRC)" syntax (back about a year
ago).

And what about the poor sod who doesn't have an IBM Network Engineer to
troubleshoot performance and crashes?  I have the same comment regarding 
Ops
Console:  When it is as stable and performs as fast as Twinax Console and
doesn't require a network engineer to keep it running, then I can afford 
to
give it a try.
