RE: 3270 emulation and TCP/IP and Terminals

As I recall, there are a couple vendors out there still selling 400
(opps - iSeries hardware legacy boxes).  There used to be a controller
that you could connect to a TCP/IP stream that would convert it for 5250
type devices (twinax).  I don't know the vendors, maybe someone does,
but you might look up remote controllers on search400 or one of the
other "stuff" sites.

I'm not really sure how that helps.  The problem is I still have
terminals
that are connected to the AS/400 via twinax.  I need to know what I need
to
setup so that they can passthru the AS/400 to connect to the OS/390.
Currently it is done using streml3270 over an SNA line.

Apparently streml3270 only works over SNA.

So far the only lead I have is the previous post involving anynet.
