Re: Green Screen access for customers - suggestions??

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have set up SLIP at V3R7, but now that the AS400 supports dial  up PPP,
you could do that using a comm line.  Comm lines are expensive per port
compared to the cost of a hardware based RAS server.
