If so, why aren't they available to help us out and add thier power to this problem? V/R Hairy4Paws |

My understanding is that what you are discussing is the backend seoftware that is run by corparations (such as IBM in our case). What we use is the agent. The agent (according to this is only available for Windows. The agent is supported on several flavors of the Windows operating system including Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows ME/98. Please note that this is from my reading and I maybe completely wrong! |
