I have been doing contract work for a few months now with a company that
uses AS400s -- and it has been my first experience with these systems.
We have been using emulation cards in PCs to connect to the AS400 (via
twinax) but now we are finally getting the option in some of these
offices to connect via TCPIP.  Most of these offices run windows but
some will be running linux.  Is Linux5250 what I need to connect to
these AS400s via linux?  If yes, can I SSH into a linux box with
Linux5250 installed and use it remotely?  Do you know if there are other
GPL programs for this type of connectivity for windows?


PS - Are there any sites that give instructions on how to  do the
install of the ethernet card into the system?  Would anyone here be
willing to "hook a brother up" -?

If this is a slight repost I am stupid and sorry - my smtp server has
been flaky and there was no way of knowing if this sent other then the
fact I never received my own post.  If all posts ar filtered and checked
before sending out, can someone in charge please let me know that?

Thanks a BILLION

(PSS -  Anyware between 5 and 500 could be using  tis setup and if
linux5250 can do what I think it can - then I would love to help
contribute financially cause I cant code for crap :P)
