Re: New IBM i Client Access Solutions

Hi Ted,

Sorry for cutting hair, but thanks to the marketing suits, it is IBM i
Acces Client Solutions (I always call it simply Client Access.)
Although I have never used Ops Console, but I found this software
flaky. For me the 64 bit version does not work at all, the 32 bit
works - sometimes. Some functions works, some does not. I just started
to use it under Linux RHEL 6.5, it is even worse. 

Regards,
Frigyes
