Re: TN5250 clients

["Bill Phelps" <phelpswr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carl,

We took the Rumba product that came with Client Access for WIN/311 
and loaded it on each desktop.  We only use the Rumba portion! We
have it configured for TN5250 with windows sockets. It works great!
It is the most stable client we have ever used.  It works with 
WIN/3.11 and WIN/95.  We made an install batch file.  It simply
copies the directory down to the client and makes an icon.  Takes
about 2 minutes to install.

It works with Novell's client/32 or FTP software, inc.  If you use FTP
software's packet drivers, you will need to delete the winsock.dll
from the windows directory or you will get a GPF when you try to
run Rumba.
