PC connection via twinax ?

[Jeff Bull <Jeff.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had a strange(?) request from a user who "... would like to connect a
PC to an AS/400 model 9401 via a Twinax connection".  It sounds to me like
someone is trying to avoid paying for a proper job.

I don't suppose anyone has come across such a connection?  My initial
thought is that a twinax adaptor for the PC and some simple 5250 eml
software might be possible.  "Why?" is another matter.

Kind Regards,
