That's right. This jives (sic) with my experience.

Jarosh may have said that and meant it then, but it's certainly no longer
true. DHCP, DNS, PPP, VPN, NetServer, to name a few, can _only_ be
configured with OpsNav. _Every_ AS/400 today needs at least one copy of
OpsNav installed for configuration and management purposes--for NetServer if
for no other reason.
