Re: Citrix

When you mention the 400 part, were you talking about a product that ran 
on the Citrix server, or, were you talking about the 5250 option available 
on the Netstation itself?  Or running the netstation 5250 part in 
conjunction with Citrix?  Because we've been running the 5250 part since 
the netstations were in beta.  There are pros and cons.  Pro is that the 
netstations had named sessions long before Client Access.  Con is that 
we have an open problem where this sometimes goes a little flaky.  
Telnet5250 products that we've been looking at, to run on the Citrix 
server, do not currently support named sessions.  Yes, I could probably 
do that with the exit point programming but I was hoping to avoid that.

I trust this a newer version of the product IBM recommended in the early
days of the Network Station... I put this in a customer site about two
years ago and it proved to be a disaster.. I will say, that IF you only
run pc apps., it will run quite nice, but when you throw the IBM version
that does the 400 part, things went down hill very quickly... They were
putting out PTF's on a daily basis... The Network administrator portion
was where all the problems came in.... BUT.... just pc apps and NO 400,
it
ran like a scalded dog.... You could run 5250 emulation pretty well, but
when you mixed the environment.... strange things continued to happen...
but that's what I get for bleeding edge stuff... I assume it's much
better now.... the network station seems to have died down a LOT.

Again... I assume this is the same product....
