I should have said that depending on your release of OS/400 and the M$
operating system it may not work out of the box.  I think it's always
possible to make it work if everything is configured correctly.  It's too
bad that one of the neatest features of the 400 is so iffy.

One thing that I've noticed in trying to get people here interested in it is
that the network people don't want to learn anything about the 400 and the
400 operations people don't want to learn anything about the network.  I
think that's sadder.
