If you operate in an IBM OS/2 (R) LAN Server environment and
have users who need immediate and comprehensive access to the latest
in service and product support information, IBM Technical Connection
Personal Software: Multi-User Edition may be the right solution for
you.
With the Multi-User Edition of the IBM Technical Connection
Personal Software CD-ROM, you can install the required files on an
IBM OS/2 LAN Server to be accessed by multiple users over a network.
Updates and maintenance are easy for the network administrator and
for users accessing the data.
Think of the IBM Technical Connection Personal Software:
Multi-User Edition as a unique reference library of technical and
service information for IBM OS/2, IBM OS/2 Warp, PC DOS, IBM OS/2 LAN
Server and related products. Then consider the benefit of periodic
CD-ROM updates giving you current information on demand without users
needing their own CD-ROM drive.
IBM has consolidated a variety of media and sources of
information used by its service and support specialists, and
delivered that information on an easy-to-use CD-ROM medium. Using
the CD-ROM, you can find an answer quickly and easily because of the
way the data is structured.
The information is organized into seven databases including
AskPSP, closed authorized program analysis reports (APAR), compressed
corrective service diskette images, reference and diagnostic diskette
images, technical bulletins, device drivers, and product information.
The cornerstone of the Technical Connection is AskPSP, a
case-based expert system tool, used in identifying solutions to IBM
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 2
OS/2, IBM OS/2 Warp, and IBM OS/2 LAN Server problems. AskPSP
facilitates interactive exchange and dynamically establishes
potential solutions to your problem -- in essence, becoming your
"personal help desk" without ever having to pick up the phone.
As a bonus, with the initial purchase of the IBM Technical
Connection Software: Multi-User Edition, a copy of the CD-ROM
containing the IBM OS/2 COLLECTION, over 275 books for a variety of
IBM OS/2 products, will also be shipped to you.
