AS/400 Remote Connectivity Question

["Rushdi A. Ariss" <rasmu1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Help!

I'm in the process of installing a new multi-drop leased line to two
sites and need to connect them to our AS/400.  We have been using Andrew
Remote emulation cards, but they are too slow (max speed 19.2) and
because of their design, slow down our AS400.

I've looked at using a controller, but I also have to install an
Ethernet network at the remote site and would like to avoid wiring for
both Ethernet and Twinax.  I've looked at the Pearl controller with
ethernet attachment, but it was over $6000!  

Any recommendations on a more cost effective solution?  Thanks in
advance!
