    Good question! I've not actually done this with a 5394
    definition so I hope someone will correct me if I'm 
    wrong. I believe you only need to vary on the line and
    then the controller. The device(s) should vary on
    automatically. If the configuration is a primary 
    station I believe the AS/400 will dial automatically.
    One way to check this is to create a duplicate 
    configuration, change it as we've discussed, put in
    a local phone number (like at your desk), and vary
    it on. If a strange computer calls you you know it
    will work!

    Ouch. Do you have Internet access at the two locations? 
    How about a VPN solution between the two sites?
