I do have a PC hooked with twinax, but it is DOS only, running IBM
Enhanced 5250 Emulation Program Version 2.3.

I do not have Client Access on the 400.

Does this mean a regular serial cable to the V.24 port will not work? 
It did not include a special IBM cable.

Actually, the goal is to get code ONTO the 400.  It's a development/test
box and has (currently) no production data.
