RE: CAE NetServer access to V3R2 IFS? (was RE: Client Access"Sig non to AS/400" window)

Netserver is a feature of OS400 at V4R2 and higher.  Using CAX to access V3
systems will leave you without IFS and QDLS access.  If access to IFS is
necessary from your client PC's, you will need to upgrade your AS400 to a
minimum of V4R2, continue to use CA 3.1.2, or perhaps if usage is light, you
could park a PC somewhere to share mapped drives to your other PCs on the
network. That PC would have to use CA 3.1.2 (or whatever the version you
have) to access the IFS, then share those mapped drives to the network.  Not
really sure if that would work.....

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

But is NetServer a Client Access animal or an OS/400 animal?

In other words, I have CAE v4r4.  Will I get NetServer by virtue of
installing CAE v4r4?  Or is NetServer only available from OS/400 v4r2 &
higher?

It's beginning to sound as though I will lose all access to my V3R2 &
V3R7 systems' IFS objects through Windows Explorer if I replace CA
v3r1m2 with CAE v4r2.  Can someone confirm or deny?

TIA
