RE: Remote access

We've been using an IBM 8235 remote access server for about the last   
year.  It has been such a success that two of us code heads now   
Tele-commute twice a week.  I can work from home just as if I'm in the   
office (except for the interruptions).  The box was a snap to set up, and   
was relatively inexpensive.

The ASCII workstation controller (AWC) is limited to 19.2 and is not
available in the new PCI based black box AS/400's.  For simple direct   
AS400
access you can use the Synapse RemoteAPPC which is software that runs in   
a
PC under Windows.  It is a firewall between your dialup and the AS400
(userid/password, dial back, caller ID, and scheduling).  At the simplist
level it supports com1 and com2 but it can be expanded to 16 simultaneous
dialups with RocketPort serial port expansion cards.  Response time is
great and it can run at speeds up to 115kb so the typical 56kb modems are
very adequate.  Best thing is that it is industrial strength.  It don't   
fail.

Claimer:  I sell, support, recommend, and use Synapse products.

This product is a one of a kind and it won first prize at COMMON SP99 in
SFO in Remote Control category (Showcase Excellence Awards -- Midrange
Computing magazine).
