People will tell you anything(depends on what you asked them)

You got a few ways to do this:

1. Using a auto-sync on your end and some software like CA/400,
   or Personal Communications. Auto-Sync modems can be hard to
   find, but they are out there. This method requires no changes
   on the 400 end.

2. Using the 7852-400 in async mode with a async line description
   and terminal emulation software. You could set it up using SLIP
   or PPP depending on what version of OS/400 you have on the 400.
   This requires some reading up on.

3. Buy a cheap controller(5219 $100) and a local emulation card
   for your pc. This solution requires a sync modem on your end
   but is very easy to use and put in place. Used modem for $200.
   This would be a pure SDLC solution and might not be what you
   are looking for, but it's flat dead simple and very stable.
