RE: V5R3 and Hardware Requirements - iSeries Access Support

["Chuck Ackerman" <CAckerman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, don't forget, just because IBM no longer supports it doesn't mean
it won't work together.

For example, we have V2R5 on our AS/400 but have V4R2 of Client Access
in our retail stores.  I suspect that IBM doesn't support that scenario
but it DOES work.

Bill,

   Think about it for a second, Win98 is about 5 years old.   While I
still see many of our customers running Win98, its time to move forward
at some time.
