RE: AS/400 Back to Back connectivity

If you have an old SPD network card, (Ethernet or token ring), in the F60, I
would add an extra one in the 730 and use a cross over cable.  Even an old
FSIOP can be used.  10M connection with one a cable in between gives you a
very fast file transfer connection.  Try using FTP to move the data or SNADS
if you do not want to run TCP/IP.  But with TCP/IP you can connect to the
F50 by turning on IP forwarding on the 730 and setting the route thru the
730 to reach the F50 via your favorite TN5250 emulator.

Hi 

We have 2 AS/400 machines which has to be connected Back to Back.
1. Machine 1 --> IBM AS/400 Model 730 running V4R4
2. Machine 2 --> IBM AS/400 Model F60 running V3R4

Could you please suggest the best of connecting these machine to reap
