RE: Interactive Feature -vs- Total System CPW (%CPU)

["Doug Hart" <doughart@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, I don't know your product.  I'll give the web site a good look.
 My assumption this runs in a browser and won't work on dumb terminals.
That could be a problem.  I had not considered going with this type of
solution (Web Facing).  The system is at v5r1.
