Re: "Naming" a PC5250 Device (session) in CA NT... -- MIDRANGE-L

The following comes from NewsWire/400:

IBM POSTS NEW CLIENT ACCESS PTF FOR WIN 95/NT V3R1M3
IBM has posted a new PTF for Client Access for Windows 95/NT
V3R1M3 users that lets V3R7 users take advantage of new TCP/IP
enhancements, in particular the enhancements include printer
emulation sessions over TCP/IP, the ability to specify a
workstation ID for both display and printer emulation sessions
over TCP/IP, and Bypass Signon support for display emulation
sessions over TCP/IP. For more information on the PTF, go to
http://www.as400.ibm.com/clientaccess and look up informational
APAR II10918.

To take advantage of the new support, you need Client Access
V3R1M3 and PTFs for the OS/400 server. At present, server support
is available only for V4R2 and V3R7, but IBM says PTFs for V3R2
and V4R1 are coming this quarter, so keep an eye on the Client
Access home page.

IBM also released a service pack for Client Access V3R1M3, with
numerous fixes. Check the Client Access page mentioned above for
more information on that as well.
