That's the only one I can think of.  For people constrained by a 10MB
network, I can see that as a problem.  It seems to me, though, that the
cost of the software is probably more than enough to upgrade your LAN to
100MB.  Wouldn't the money would be better spent there?

Let's see.  A 100MB line should transfer at least 10MB a second.  So,
that's what?  About 2 minutes a GB?  Seems reasonable to me.  How many
GB do you actually store in your IFS?

If it's a lot more than, say, 10GB, then I submit that you're spending
an awful lot on iSeries disk that you might want to consider offloading
to a cheaper server.  If it's not, then we're talking 20 minutes of
transmission time.

I dunno, just me thinking out loud.
