I have remote sites with PCs and 5250 terminals connected to an AS/400.  
Currently all devices are attached via twinax (even PCs).  The remotes connect 
through Perle and IBM 5494 controllers over frame relay.  I plan to install an 
NT server and connect it to the AS/400 via ethernet and run TCP/IP. Can someone 
please tell me if I add ethernet cards to the remote workstation controllers 
[and remote PCs] if they will be able to access the NT server for purposes of 
file and printer sharing, email, Internet access, etc.  Since some older 
devices will still have to be supported, we will have to support both TCP/IP 
and SNA.
