Patrick,
Thank you for your response. I've forwarded it on to my boss and to 'the
Cisco Kid'. I'll let you know what goes down.

Rob,
You might want to take a look at a dial PPP router. I think Netopia has
one.
It sits on your LAN and is connected to the AS/400 via Ethernet. When a
request is sent to an IP address routed via the router it will make the
dial
connection automatically. I believe it will also hang up the connection
when
there is no activity. This kind of connection is nice from the AS/400 side
as the remote system appears like a local LAN or Internet connection. I'm
not expert on Netopia routers, so I suggest talking to them directly if
this
is of interest.
