Well, not exactly.  My original question in a previous posting was: 
What do I need to connect my remote PC's to the AS/400 via dial up.  My
PC modems are all asynch.  Can I hook up any modem to the 400, define an
asynch line description and dial in to the Com Controller?  I guess I
just want to know if I need more hardware or not.
