Re: older client access and winXP

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

 Clearly they won't get support on earlier versions of CA on XP but if 
they are using TCP/IP for their connection to the iSeries they may have 
some luck getting those older versions to work and certainly Telnet is 
the Most likely to work. Printer support is another issue because it 
ties more closely to Windoze so there may be issues there. Best avoided 
if possible.

 With V4R4 the supported CA versions would be V4R5 and V5R1 (N+-2)  
However if you're upgrading the clients I'd go to the most current as 
there is more trouble between CA and WinDOHs than there is between CA 
and OS/400.   I have been on the latest client for years and I routinely 
connect to machines many versions back, including V3R2 (though there's 
not a lot to connect TO that far back ;-)
