You MIGHT find someone on this list who knows the answer, but that seems
unlikely, since that is off-topic here, and the readers aren't necessarily
the people who do those things.  Usually, someone from IBM or a business
partner would handle the install of a network card.

a _MUCH_ better place to ask this would be on the Midrange-L mailing
list.   (a) Professionals who install this stuff all the time hang out
there. (b) The question would be on-topic.  (c) there are more people
there, so a far better chance of someone having info for you.

Here's a starting point for the Win32 port:
   http://archive.midrange.com/oss400/200201/msg00044.html

The Win32 port is not currently available in binary form.  That link
above is to a "temporary" source-code release that I threw together so
that people could try the Windows version.

The normal place to get tn5250 is:
   http://tn5250.sourceforge.net

However, the releases that are listed on the normal site do not include
the Win32 code.  That will change when the NEXT release is made, however.
At that time, Win32 will be included in the main source release, and we
will also have a binary-install for Windows at that time.

Good luck!
