The LAN card on the IPCS card _cannot_ be used directly by the AS/400. The
LAN card on the IPCS card can be  used to connect the AS/400 to the network,
but then the AS/400's pipeline to the network is dependent on the NT Server
running. When the NT Server is down, so is the AS/400's network.

The IPCS _requires_ a LAN card. You can't simply move it off the IPCS card
and into a dedicated AS/400 slot. The best advice: Anytime you use the IPCS
card for running a NOS such as NT, you should also purchase a separate LAN
card for direct AS/400 use.
