Re: real time due date quoting

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sam,

Our customers are doing this kind of integration with NT with two of our
products. Alliance FTP Manager can push a file to the NT, start a
program on the NT to process the file (requires an rexec server like
Client Access), and returns a file to the AS/400 for processing. For
more real-time requirements our Alliance TCP/IP product can do sockets
communications with the NT. It uses data queue interfaces on the AS/400.
You can contact me privately for more information. Also on our web site:
