Q:

  IBM eNetwork Firewall V3.2 for AIX                                            
                                                                                
Can a customer use an ASCII display attached to the RS/6000 serial port         
to install and configure the firewall?  Could a customer have an                
ASCII display as their console, and then use a LAN attached PC to               
configure the firewall?  Thanks.                                                
A:                                                                              
The IBM eNetwork Firewall product uses Install Shield to install the            
product which displays graphical windows.  The configuration and                
administration of the Firewall is done via Java (graphical) panels.             
So it is necessary to have a display that supports graphics to work            
with the IBM Firewall product.
