Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
486 AS/400e System Handbook
The Windows 95/NT client is designed for customers who have any of the following
requirements:
• Need SNA/APPC or IPX connectivity
• Need to run an SNA/APPC application over AnyNet (SNA over TCP/IP)
• Graphical Access (PC5250 can be used in place of this)
• Need to run 16-bit PC applications
• Need to connect to a variety of OS/400 system levels (such as V3R2, V4R1, and later)
AS/400 Client Access Enhanced for Windows 3.1 (5763-XK1)
Client Access Enhanced for Windows 3.1 is a 16-bit Windows client that runs on Windows 3.1
and Windows for Workgroups 3.11. It is a replacement for the original Client Access for
Windows 3.1 client that was shipped in the AS/400 Client Access Family (5769-XY1).
This client has all the capabilities of the original client, except for the RUMBA/400 emulator,
with additional enhancements, such as native TCP/IP support, the ability to specify a
workstation ID name over native TCP/IP, and using printer emulation over native TCP/IP. This
client is a good migration path for PC users still running on a 16-bit machine. However, this
client is to be withdrawn from the Client Access Family for Windows product in the release
following OS/400 V4R5. Therefore, customers should start formulating plans to migrate to the
strategic 32-bit Express client within the next two years.
