RE: Thin Clients and the AS/400

[Andrew Reed <areed@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are definitely some options for browser-based access to your
AS/400 apps. If you're not thrilled with WSG, you may want to check out
I/NET's (www.inetmi.com) Webulator. Webulator does on-the-fly conversion
of your AS/400 data stream to HTML for presentation via standard
browsers. I thought IBM was going to adopt Webulator as their standard
web access product for the AS/400, but don't know what's going on with
that. I am not affiliated with I/NET, nor do I sell their products.

More developers are providing web enablement for their software. Here at
Magellan Software, for example, we provide browser-based access to our
COLD and imaging repositories...

        Subject:        Thin Clients and the AS/400

        Is anyone using Thin Clients on their network?  I am about to
implement
        JDEdwards to a Wide Area network.  We also use Lotus Notes
(which will
        soon be running on AS/400 NT IPCS).  I'd like for all my users
to be
        accessing these two systems via a similar interface.  Whether
this is
        the way to go or not, I'm not sure but it sure sounds like a
        possiblity.  Is anyone using a browser to access thier native
AS/400
        applications?  How bout Notes?  I have enabled the Work Station
Gateway
        on the AS/400 however I'm not crazy about it.  Does Net.Data
enabled
        this functionality?  Any thoughts, comments, concerned are
welcome!
        Thanx,
