Everyone is going to have an opinion on this one but I would just go with
Client Access under Win 2k. What I have tried is Attachmate Extra, Rumba and
PCom 5250 (like Client Access), I loaded the BOS demo and it looked good as
well but I did not use it. We currently are down to Client Access and one or
two users using Rumba and the others using Attachmate. As far as the OS
goes, you run whatever you want as long as it's Windows and perhaps Linux
don't know about that. My favorite would be OS/2 but alas....

Regarding printers, Client Access to me seems the simplest, you just define
a printer session then attach that session to a network printer. That done
you just change the OUTQ to the device created for the session and vi-ola
the printout goeth there.

First:  Thanks for all the feedback.  Im pretty sure I have everything I
need to get these ethernet cards installed and flying.

Second:  Everyone at this company is really new with this whole AS400 +
TCP/IP.  What software do you guys recommend for PC (Windows
9x/2k/XP/NT4) to AS/400 Connectivity.  Software that allows you to use
your local printer as a network printer?  Software that is free (as in
beer)?  Software that is free (as in speech, GPL, etc.)?

The program that I have been recommended to (but haven't used yet) is
the one by BOS.

Thanks again :P
