Re: RS-6000 to AS/400 communications

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The RS/6000 does have the ability to run an SNA environment. But it is a
job to set it up! I would be more inclined to set up a PPP dial to a
server on the same network as the AS/400 and do FTP or use the Client
Access for UNIX transfer function. On the AS/400 side you will need a
PPP server to answer the incoming call. A Shiva box or something similar
would do it. For the Client Access product call IBM or StarQuest
Software (510) 558-0178.

Hope this helps....
