Wow! Thats new..... I have 30 replies to my plea saying the client was not available. However in
my case, I found it easier to simply change servers. At the time the client was not available, and no
indication than it ever would be. I didn't subscribe to the support system, so I cannot get the client.
The customers of mine always wanted Windows as a server (it is a problem always trying to
convince them that Warp server is a better server, so after doing this repeatedly, I give up).
I get more money supporting Windows servers than I get Warp servers. With Warp servers on a
small network I get an average of two calls a year for maintenance. With Windows servers I get 6.
More money for me, and the customer thinks he prefers Windows. Why fight it? IBM is slow to fix
and it costs to get the fixes today. In the past all the IBM clients for the Windows desktops were
free. Now they are in a paid subscription.
However if by some chance I find a copy of the Windows 2000 client for Warp Server in my
reader....... I could do away with my automated weekly reboot, and keep at least two or three of my
clients with Warp Server......
