Re: How to connect AS/400 to phone line using IBM modem 7852-400

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Solutions:
1)  Get an SDLC card for your PC and use an existing comm 
    port on the 400.  This solution is as popular as a poop 
    in the punchbowl.
2)  Get an ASCII workstation controller and use any PC type 
    modem.  This is becoming obsolete by IBM.
3)  Buy a third party product from Perle or someone that does what 2 does.
4)  Buy a used 8235 from IBM.  Or get one from Shiva - who 
    made the 8235 for IBM.   This will allow you to attach 
    to your remote lan and do anything as if you were local 
    on the lan:  Client Access, NT explorer, Notes, whatever.
5)  Configure a Citrix server and dial in to that beast.  You'll 
    get better response time than option 4 and will have the 
    same flexibility.
6)  I am sure there is some sort of Internet solution, but that
    depends on what you are trying to do.

I used to use the ASCII workstation for years.  That 80286 was 
great for dialing in and responding to messages when paged in 
the middle of the night.  I am still using a 8235 and am quite 
happy with it, except the response time.  This is how I browse 
the Internet from home for free.  Some people here have upgraded 
from the 8235 to the Citrix and are quite ecstatic.  And these 
were people we about had to peel their cold dead fingers to give 
up their 3180 terminal.  Also the PC hack used a local connection 
for Citrix on a 386 for awhile because it was faster than his 
souped up P2 pc.

Subject:        How to connect AS/400 to phone line using IBM modem 7852-400

Hello falks, Please help me with connecting an AS400 720 with V4R4 to a phone 
line using IBM modem 7852-400. Once the connection is done, I should be able to 
dial into the AS/400 using Client Access from a PC connected to the phone.

What communication configuration needed on AS/400? 
What type of line/controller to create on AS/400?
And other information related to this.

Thanks
Nimal
