Stranded in the Solitude of iSeries Isolation? Bothered by the Burdens of Batching? Freaked by the Failures of FTP? Overwhelmed by the Obstacles of Operating System Overload? Wary of Witch Doctors who tell you with a straight face that batched information is "Real Time?" It's a jungle out there... But we'll get through this. I'm Tom, and I'll be your Route Planner and Guide - 'RPG'. I'll help you navigate through the Communications Jungle to civilization and System Seamlessness in a quick guided tour. Your assignment is to seek out and record the wonders, dangers, and mysteries we encounter. If you have a Noteworthy Need, we will make the connection together. Then we will write up YOUR story, and submit it to be published as a case study in a trade magazine. Bag a trophy for your company, a true high speed (50 milliseconds or better response time), industrial strength communication link to real time systems, ... with NOTHING in the middle but the network!
