There might be an OS/400 limitation now, but I somehow doubt that.  Years
ago, we used CA (then PC/Support) to connect to an E10 running 2.3, a B70
running 2.1, a D40 (via T-1) running 2.2, and a 5362 running SSP 5.  Never a
problem.

I now use NetSoft's NS/Portfolio via ASYNCH to connect to a 310 on 3.1, a 320
running the same, an F50 running 3.2, and a 530 running 3.7.  In either case,
the package will run as long as your configuration is set up correctly.  Your
"pass-through" statement is somewhat confusing.  How are you attempting to
"virtually pass-through"?
