Rich, Yes, WinAPPC does require the Netsoft router for autosync communications. Synapse makes another product, Remote APPC, that allows the use of standard (cheap) async modems to connect to the AS/400. However, Remote APPC is installed on a "server" PC (Win3.x or Win95) connected to the AS/400 that the client WinAPPC PCs dial into. Not very cost effective if only one user will be dialing in but very reasonable for, say, 3 or more users. Fast, and VERY secure. Info can be found at the Synapse web site: http://www.synapse.com Hope this clarifies. Joe Frank Synapse Communications, Inc.
