RE: iSeries and PDA

Hi Carl,

We are just at the point of first investigation, so hardware is not
choosen yet.
I'll check Teklogix.
What do you mean by range? Bandwidth? I don't know what bandwidth these
apps need, but I'm sure if the concept will work, they (the
fieldworkers) will soon question for more. So transferred data amount
can grow soon.

Thanks,
Arco Simonse
