Simply set up the CM/2 as a network node by editing the .NDF file,
changing NODE_TYPE(EN) to NODE_TYPE(NN) in the DEFINE_LOCAL_CP section,
save it, run cmverify, stop CM/2 and re-start it.  You should then set
up the other CM/2 machines on the Ethernet to use the CM/2 NN as a network
node (delete old links, add a new one with
                    PREFERRED_NN_SERVER(YES)
                    CP_CP_SESSION_SUPPORT(YES)
                    ACTIVATE_AT_STARTUP(YES)

Better yet, get the APPC Showcase (URL
ftp://networking.raleigh.ibm.com/appc_appn/appc_showcase) and install
the Network Node Services and User Services on the network node, then
just the User Services on the End Nodes.  Then request the AS/400
AFTP support and you can do APPC file transfers everywhere!  (Note:
the APPC Showcase has a feature called Discovery that has been tested
on token-ring LANs but not to my knowledge on Ethernet LANs.  If you
have problems with Discovery, you'll have to define an explicit network
node link - as above - on each end node and also a CPI-C side info
entry for the APPC Name Server.)
