Re: Remote TCP/IP connection using TN5250 or browser JAVA applet

Thanks for the nice reply. I'm sorry for the delay in responding. Been a bit
busy with a banking takeover problem here.

You are right. ISPs don't know anything about AS/400. I simply stopped using
the term. However, they also don't know about much else. I would guess that
90% of them are now in the business model of selling connections with the
option of providing Web-space hosting. PPP and SLIP for connection of your
server are fast becoming niche markets - probably at a lower profit level. So,
as a result, I had to wade through layers of sales people before they could
connect me with a technical person who could answer whether or not they even
provided the service! Astonishing.

 They need to know things like 'Ethernet', 'Token Ring', 'router', etc.
 Here's some stuff from the Redbook 'Cool Title About AS/400 and the
 Internet' that may help a little:
