Hi Team,

Let's go ahead and order InfoPrint Manager!

We obviously have more work to do to fit IPM into MIT's I/T infrastructure.
Nevertheless, I am confident that we know enough about the product's
security features (DCE, SSL, etc.) to move forward with purchasing it.
I expect to tie IPM running under AIX (with DCE) into MIT's Kerberos realm.
Even if this is not possible however, we will be able to handle remote
Operator function through either of two methods:

     - a private DCE cell
     - SSL web interface

IBM also has a kerberized Windows client for print job submission and is
planning a Mac client (which we will probably help to develop).

It's time to order IPM!

Cecilia - go for it! :)
