Re: RISC to CISC ? and TCP/IP ?

[Neil Palmer <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1) You need observability to migrate. If the vendor is going to supply new
   "RISC-Ready" code ethn that solves that problem.
2) CA/400 can run pure native TCP/IP, not requiring the Netsoft router.
   On V3R7 + it can also run IPX/SPX.  However in both TCP/IP & IPX you 
   cannot assign workstation names (they use QPADEVxxxx), and the standard
   printer emulation doesn't work - you need to use LPD on the PC.
