RE: Jwalk vs iSeries Access

Paul (or anyone else) -

At one software level (A7.3 CUM15 and newer), JDPeopOracle offers a
browser-based interface to JDE World that uses JWalk.  It's a free
add-on if you're on World maintenance.  I _guess_ you could call it
modernization...

Anyone have experience with that one a decent scale deployment (300+
concurrent users)?  How are custom screens handled?

Or an alternative (from IBM or other), in particular one that wouldn't
mandate an Enterprise Edition system that costs $200+K more than it's
Standard Edition counterpart?

We had some special-purpose stuff in JWalk and I have to agree it's CPU
usage was trivial.  But we only had about 9 users on it.  Easy enough to
install & manage, but configuration takes a bit to get right and
troubleshooting was a pain; very little log info is available.

The CPU usage of Seagull is minimal. Both take up an interactive
session. 
Seagull will require you to spend a lot more time babysitting users than
the green screen. My JDE client got talked into deploying Seagull in
their shop, which includes 2 remote locations. I'm weaning them off
Seagull and onto the green screen. One of the biggest issues is font
sizes.
