Question MAC computers and Green screen: fedex

I recently got a macbook pro and running parallels for DOS programs. When I try to log to the green screen it does not complete the log on. Has anyone got it to work?? Any additional ideas?? Thanks!

I also have a MacBook Air. I installed Parallels, Windows XP, and Internet Explorer for the sole purpose of using the Mainframe (green screen). Works fine.

Default Green Screen?

What's the advantage of using the green screen over the regular website or the intranet?

There are certain things that can only be accessed on the green screen.

Okay, that helps a lot! Other than your W-4 changes and a calendar blockers schedule, is there anything else worth accessing that way?

You can check to see if your airplane is broken or unavailable....great info when they had the airport standbys. You could see where you were going beforehand.

Ok, you can see your pay information (salary, deductions, etc.), you can change your address, you can change your direct deposit information and probably a lot more stuff that I do not know of. Maybe someone can start a thread of all the stuff you can access on the green screen. I hope that helps a little.
