Re: iSeries configuration

[Albert York <alfromme@xxxxxxxxx>]

We were planning on putting the users on the corporate network. We
need to do this for other reasons than accessing the iseries. I just
need to know a range of configurations that will support 2000 green
screen users.

As long as your remote users have access to the network they can get top the iSeries using iSeries Access.  This is a network issue, not an iSeries configuration issue.  In the case that the remote users are individuals with laptops, set up VPN access to your network.  I would use a hardware solution like one from Cisco, or if the remote is a branch office, just use a couple routers to connect the branch office to your main network.
