RE: How can I see the AS/400 from my Linux box?

It isn't difficult to use OPS Nav to define a NFS share on the AS/400 ...
This NFS drive could then be mounted directly to your LINUX system via it's
NFS support....

A workaround -- albeit goofy -- is to install a Windows machine that has
Client Access, giving it the ability to "see" the AS/400, then share the
Windows machines' drives that point to the AS/400.
