You do get the AS400 sign on and you can sign on  and issue commands.  But the
Fkeys are shown at the bottom for point and click.  The F keys on the top dont 
do
much except for F1.  Same for the point and click keys.  Well I am sure, 
Netscape
will improve on this later.  The device is automatically created on the AS400 as
type 3277  (not 3477).
