RE: Non-TCP/IP based remote AS/400 connectivity solution

Cynthia,

What I did here was:

(1) take an old PC 
(2) stick a 5250 emulation card in it
(3) set it up as the System Console (CTLO1, port 0 switch 0)
(4) install a modem
(5) load a copy of PC/Anywhere on it

and you have a "remote console". I also still have the original dumb
terminal console sitting nearby if that were ever needed (upgrades, etc.)

Works great now going 3 years I believe. Of course I had all of this (except
PC/Anywhere) so it was zero investment basically.

I was thinking with the newer boxes you have a "remote console" (?)

We are on a 620 and are getting ready to order an 810 to replace it.

HTH

Chuck

Subject: Non-TCP/IP based remote AS/400 connectivity solution

We will be upgrading from 720 to 810 in the near future.  As such, we will
be losing our ASCII Workstation Controller.  We had been using this along
with 3164 Emulation for remote access to AS/400 when problem with TCP/IP
(this enabled us to restart TCP/IP remotely).  Does anyone know what other
options are out there?  A vendor has recommended Nlynx Axcess/400 with
ES/Remote.  Has anyone used?  Thank you.
