Re: AS/400 and OS/2

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Booth,

I use both the 'crippled' PCom5250 that comes with Warp4 and the old TN5250 
that came with Warp Connect.  The 
only features missing from the crippled PCom are file transfer and keyboard 
mapping.  The keyboard mapping is 
not really a problem unless connecting to 3270 devices.

I use FTP for most file transfers -- check out the FTP Folder template in Warp. 
 Drag and Drop FTP -- now 
that's cool!

You already have most of what you need to connect straight out of the Warp box. 
 One of the best TCP 
implementations (just like Unix -- including heaps of diagnostic tools) and you 
have FTP, TELNET, SENDMAIL, 
etc.

If you want the full TCP PComm or SNA communications I think the simplest 
course is to purchase IBMs PC5250.  I 
think the same CD comes with OS/2 and Win versions.  It has a much smaller 
footprint than Client Access 
Optimized for OS/2.

Check out

for more information.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
