Well it _should_ be the way to go.  My experiences with it suggest that it
is rarely worth the effort though.  We tried for weeks on two separate V4R4
boxes and finally gave up.  It cost us about 8 days of effort and IBM never
did get it straight.

We have just received a new V5 box an finally got it going after several
calls to IBM.  Apparently even the latest version has problems with a bug
in Win 98 that MS can't/won't fix.  Our attempt to use it on another box
because IBM don't support it on W2000 server.  Finally we found a laptop
with W2000 Pro and it finally worked.

I'll let you know if it was worth the effort!
