Re: FSIOP without LanServer

["Roger Pence" <rp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff--

You have to use Integration Services for FSIOP (5769-SA2) for the FSIOP to
function as a LAN card.

QSERVER is required for IFS support.

If you only have the one LAN card on the FSIOP, if the FSIOP isn't running,
neither is your LAN.
