Re: ECS via the Internet, Does it work?

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Has ANYONE Made this work yet? I have V5R2 on a number of client 
systems. Every one has AC3 and CE3 installed. Exactly ONE of those 
systems has connected to IBM, and that one Exactly Once and that 
connection was slower than dialup both in connect time and download 
speed across a Full T1. I have not had the time to beat the cr.., um 
sorry, converse with those in Rochester about this.

In V5R1 we flat gave up because they had imposed rediculous rules like 
"You can't have a firewall!!" DOH!

Lets say that so far I am WAY not impressed.
