There is a form of naming devices in TCP/IP but it is currently 
only supported using Network Stations and the newer version of
Network Station Manager for AS/400............

I am not really sure how it is different from "normal" TCP/IP but it is
an option in the NS manager.....

Maybe one of the IBM folks could comment on this.....
