We use both the Hayes Optima with Synapse as well as a SLIP connection on
the AS/400 for a PC

Optima.  No need for a remote emulation card in the PC or additional modem,
just an async modem which you have.  Since the connection to the AS/400
is async, no need to switch from synch to async.  Also, the SLIP connection
works great with Client Access which 
is a better product than Personal Communications.
