Re: TRYING undestanding new AS Iserv

Dan,

I've not researched this, but I recall reading some news story that
Jacada has a tool that would take interactive jobs and convert them to
client/server.  The reason I remember this is that their product,
unintentionally, meant that a site could acquire the less expensive
server models.

I'm sure that somewhere on the economic scale their product costs less
than the IBM interactive penalty.
