A client of ours has a brand new IBM AS-400 that they want to
interface with an existing uucp network.  The objective is to be
able to transfer files between the remote unix machines and the
400 in a smooth, simple and reliable way. For a number of
reasons, some sound and some not-so, an IBM-RT is the machine of
choice for the unix/400 connection.

They have experimented with an IBM 5250 (5251?) emulation
card in a regular PC connected to the 400 over "twinax" cable,
and can transfer files just fine. Now the task is to replace the
PC with an RT.

Can someone on the net help us out with REAL experience as
opposed to conjecture (we get enough of that from IBM)?  
Specifically, can the RT emulate a 5250 for the purposes of
AS-400 communication?  If not, is there some other way to get
these two boxes talking?

Please e-mail; I will summarize to the net if there is interest.

Thanks
Dick Gill
