This message indicates that the /400 can't find a virtual device that
matches the virtual device type you're using on the remote client.  If
you're coming in with a virtual device type of VT100, and all of the
available virtual devices on the /400 are 3179's, the system won't be able
to match the device type and function.

In the SNA world you could always set up a couple of virtual device type
5251-11's that the system would fall back to if it couldn't find a matching
device type.  I haven't tried this with TCP/IP, but I'm not hopefull that it
would work.  You'll likely have to match these ASCII device types directly
