RE: CA/400 vs Netware for SAA

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would say that's adding a totally unnecessary cost and level of
complexity into the situation.
Would suggest you change all the PC's to run CA/400 direct TCP/IP
connection with 5763XD1 (CA/400 for Win95/NT) V3R1M3 eliminating the
Netsoft Router from the picture.

Well, at least that's my two cans of Swan lager's worth !   :-o
