This fundamental missing element caused me to drop the Andrew Interlynx (or
Access/400 as it is now called).  There is no way to do APPC over Windows to
their box so their box is worthless in today's world IMHO.  Also, Andrew is
out of business having been bought out by ex-Andrew management recently and
the status of some products is in question.

The replacement product I recommend and sell is the Synapse RemoteAPPC
(www.synapse.com) which does Win3.1x, W4W, Win95, Win98, and/or WinNT via
APPC to the AS400 attached any physical way.  I put this software only
product into an $800. PC I build specifically for this task although it can
run in any 486-66 PC.  It supports speeds up to 115KB (Andrew maxes out at
19.2) and has firewall security of userid/password, caller ID, dial-back,
encrypted data streams, and user scheduling (Andrew has no security).  The
simplist installation would be com1 and com2 in a PC but you can add
multi-port serial cards ($500.each) to get up to 16 users.
