Re: Info on Shriva LAN Rover

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

You owe them a soda.

The way that hardware works is it allows your PC to emulate being on the LAN.  
Now if 
you were on their LAN, with a LAN cable plugged into the back of your pc, would 
you 
really use the IBM PCOM TN5250 emulator?

Whilst on their LAN you would then have full access to their NT services and 
the like, 
if they have them.  This is what this device does, (or at least my experience 
with the 
IBM 8235).

Subject:        Info on  Shriva LAN Rover

I know the Shriva unit has been discussed on the list before.  I am on site
at a clients today and there are 4 of us who need to establish dial up
access to this client's AS400.  We all have the IBM PCOM TN5250 emulator
loaded on our laptops and the guy here is telling me we HAVE TO LOAD CLIENT
ACCESS in order to do a dial up connection.  Could that possibly be true?  I
was under the impression that I could connect to this unit via Windows DUN,
establish a TCP/IP connection and then start a TN5250 session to the IP
address of the AS400.
Which of us is crazy?
