Re: Remote office connection

[Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Jerry,

Were I worked (until today - last day there; new company Monday...) we had a
centrally located AS/400 shop with remote sites across the U.S. and Canada. Our 
2
AS/400's are on our LAN and via Frame Relay and our WAN, users running Client
Access can connect with no control units necessary,

The only real issue has been remote printing...
