What are the advantages of the APPX Router when compared to a pure LU6.2 link?
A. A pure LU6.2 link requires all end-users to be running an LU6.2 application, which has implications for the kind of software and hardware you need on the client workstation. Router clients run TCP/IP applications, which may be much easier to configure, and have less stringent hardware and software requirements. Further, when an end-user workstation needs to be added, you may discover that they already have Internet or Intranet access, which may provide a low cost data path to the host.
