Re: Can I dial to a NT server with RAS and then connect to AS/400 via CAWIN 95???

Stanley.

Although I don't have NT with a RAS server, I have VAX/VMS with a terminal
server.  I dial into the terminal server and make a slip connection to the
network (presumably you would make a PPP connection with RAS).  From there I
can start a TN5250 or TN3270 session with the emulator of my choice, or do
likewise with FTP and LPD.  Although I haven't tried it, you could possibly
start the CA Anynet router (SNA over TCP/IP) and use your favourite APPC
applications.  Has anyone done this?

d.v.

P.S. Is this the Stanley Tang from North Albion Collegiate?
