Re[2]: CA for Win95 (on IE4.01)

[ericadelong@xxxxxxxx]

Win98? Quite the adventurer, aren't you? <BG> I think it will be a while before 
I'll go there... I'm willing to wait for the "bleeding edge" to pass me by. 
After all, it's taken three releases of W95 (retail ver, OSR A, OSR B) just to 
stabilize the product. Of course, stable IS a relative term. I still hear a 
constant stream of complaints about how quirky W95 is. 

Good luck.... :)

By the way, has anyone successfully connected CA/400 95/NT using Win98? 
I've only used Win98 rc1 and it failed.  I asked IBM Support when they will
support Win98 and they had no formal ETA.  Hard part for us, Win98 will soon 
be shipping with our new PCs the new fiscal year.  Looks like we need to 
downgrade to Win95 (OSR1 or OSR2.)  Heavy sigh.  For the PCs, how I wish for 
the DOS and terminal days again......heavy sigh.  (I'm probably showing my 
youth here compared to some of the *old*, real old timers.) <BG>
     
Thanks again and hope the weather is as terrible there in MN as it is in 
Hawaii.  :D

Other than the terrible weather, what problems can you have? <vbg>
     
Concerning your point 6), there are (were?) known problems using CLIENT32. 
I don't know if this is still the cass, but go to 
<http://www.as400.ibm.com.clientaccess> . There you can get to a large 
number of info APARs, addressing many issues, including compatibility 
issues. There are documents listing tested hardware and software 
compatibilities. I won't promise that it'll answer all your concerns, but 
it may hit some of them.
