they are.  we use it for two things.  one is client access, which i use
to dial into other as/400's at remotes sites.  or into my own as/400
from home.

but we also use it for our windows access, written using asna's visual
rpg. for this, no client access is used at all.  

the connection is done using the dial up adaptor.  at the point you
connect, shiva doesn't know or care what you do with it.
