You don't need an NT Server to use NT Workstation.

|Since you mentioned Internal web I assume that you are going to trash most,
if not all, of the twinax terminals and attach the PC's with LAN boards.  I
don't know what you are trying to do with the Internal web system.  I would
evaluate Notes along with the other AS/400 solutions.  Will you be making
the move to NT on the workstations?  We became much more stable when running
Client Access under NT than 95.  95 caused many problems.  IMHO 95 is a fine
operating system for HOME computers.  You can run Windows 3.11 with Client
Access and Notes if you want to.  Excuse my vast ignorance on NT, but if you
are running NT workstations I suppose you need an NT server?  You may want
to evaluate NT on the IPCS.  Also, with NTServer, (not to be confused with
running NT on the IPCS!), you can set up 'shares' on the 400.  These shares
can point to directories on your 400 that you can find with the WRKLNK
command or to output queues also.  I like the shares better than just
allocating space!

| under NT on the IPCS.  With the shares you can actually see the objects on
the 400 - and use AS/400 SAV and RST commands.  When you just use the
NT/IPCS drives you get just one big honkin' space.
