I have a user who is dialing into a bank's mainframe to retrieve account
info.  They are currently using a PC to do this but we were throwing around
the idea of doing it from the As/400 just to see if we could do it.

I found some code on midrange computing's website for dialing into a BBS via
the AS/400 and I've used that as a model but I can't seem to get anywhere
with the STRITF (Start Interactive Terminal Facility) command.  Anyone ever
try to do this before and get it to work?  My main problem is I receive a
comm failure but don't get any messages as to why it failed.  I never hear
the modem dial out as well.
