Yes, have experienced how long it takes to initially access the AS/400
fron Network neighborhood.  I had just chalked it up to the fact we have
a fairly slow (model 200) AS/400.  You don't mention what model you
have.  I presumed it would be reasonable quick on a RISC model at V3R7 -
maybe others can comment on that as our model 400 is on order and won't
be here for a few weeks.
