I had the same problem finding the book in the IBM Support pages. Ended up
searching only for the word "cool". (I think the "/" s in the title mess up
the IBM's search. The real title is V4 TCP/IP for AS/400: More Cool Things
Than Ever
SG24-5190-00 and I would recommend to all.
Major chapters (706 pages) on:
TCP basic install    SSL            PPP & Slip
Telnet                    FTP            Socks Client
DNS                      DHCP        NAT & IP Filtering
VPN                    LDAP            TCP Printing
Routing                Virtual IP
Multicasting            REXEC    DDM & DRDA over TCP
Problem Determination
