RE: Telnet to an AS400 via NOKIA 9110 GSM telephone

I want to do this... but I need help with the basics.

I've got an AS on an ethernet, and a SLIP connection.

I'm assuming that I can dial in on SLIP, but I haven't found this to be very
reliable (V3R7M0).

So I need to set up a CISCO router (or alternative?) that has a modem and
ethernet card. I dial into the router and, without any Netware or NT
servers, my Nokia can just telnet to the AS400?

But can I do it with a PC acting as a router? ie PC is connected to modem
and ethernet, and I dial into the PC and have telnet access? I expect
servers would do this, but what about a simple Win95/Win98/Linux PC? I like
the option of a PC mainly because of the flexibility - for instance I could
have caller-id installed to reject unrecognised phone numbers.

Hi everybody,
I'm from Italy.
Just a few days ago i got my brand new NOKIA 9110 GSm telephone.
It's very impressive.
I used the telnet application to connect remotely to my WAN via our CISCO
routers.(mainly through our CISCO 3640)
I can manage IOS CISCo software very well, but problems begin when i try to
connect to my AS400 because the telnet inside my NOKIA 9110 is a normal
VT100 telent and so i can only use PF1,PF2,PF3, and PF4.
So i can connect, but i can only give some commands but without all the
other PF functions is very hard. (I can't give page down or up too)
Does anyone know a secondary way to give the AS400 command like page down or
up, PF5----PF24?????
I know that's athe VT100 problem and so I'm asking nokia to give me a better
telnet for emulate my AS400 but I'm a little man against a very big company.
Please send me suggestion....
Thank You in advance to all
