Re: Questions about Newer Devices for System Access

A few days ago, I learned that somebody wanted a 5250 session on the iPad. Not sure what software was used, but it works fine. Has to be clunky to only have a n image of a keyboard, IMO.

Subject: Re: Questions about Newer Devices for System Access

I know of a company in town that is using an iPad app to get access to
some data on their iSeries. It is a specific thing, not an emulator, but
it works.

Details are not known to me, other than how it looks! Which is pretty
good, and it does what they want.

I've wondered if there is an emulator yet. One could maybe be Web-based
- perhaps lookSoftware has one - they tout that their stuff goes from
iSeries, etc., out to anything, almost. (I don't work for them, and we
have no business relationship with them.)

I would like to hear from the folks on what they are using "other" than
laptops for remote access.

The iPad came up and I said "NO" but I might have been wrong....

He also asked about using "other" tablets that are out there like the
netbooks,etc,etc.

I have no experience with anything other than laptops.
