Mark, >Do I need anything special on the AS/400 or network to connect (i.e. >some kind of wireless adapter???) The 400 has to have the telnet server running, which you probably already do. Other than that, is is just a matter of how you communicate. EG, if over the Internet, you may need to configure your firewall to allow access and provide port mapping, etc. In my case, I set Mocha to use a non-standard port (instead of 23) and block port 23 at the firewall. The firewall filters and drops requests from every IP address but a very few. Then I have a Telnet exit program which provides a belt and suspenders check, and again verifies the IP address and further only allows certain user IDs from specific IP addresses. But then I'm trying to access remotely from a cell phone. If you are talking about local office wireless access, you'd probably want to use a 802.11b adapter on the PDA and wireless access point(s) connected to your Intranet. I've never done that on a PDA, but that whould provide the same TCP connection Mocha needs to run the TN5250 client. Doug
