Thanks for the feed back.  I used to have an Andrew 3xplus card for
remote dialup to the ECS lines and could use ETU for file transfer. 
This works OK for a single connection and does allow for software
distribution, but the machines I support are commonly equiped with only
one comm port and I was hoping for some other form of passthorugh (if
I'm dialed in via ECS there is no available comm port for the AS/400 to
dial out to another AS/400.)

That does bring up a point, if I'm a locally attached workstation I can
passthrough to another AS/400, if the 3164 emulation on a dialup ASWC
treats me as a local device, I was hoping I could estabolish a
connection to another machine even if I have to use the ECS lines
between machines.....but at 2400 baud...yeech!

Not all sites have CA, but I think I can talk them into buying a
license.

Tnanks again.
