RE: Non-CA400 software for remote site

Pat,

Unless I'm misinterpreting your question, you would establish a dial-up
connection to your AS/400 using Microsoft dial-up networking.  Client
Access (or whatever emulation product is used) would not be involved in
the TCP/IP configuration.  Then you would layer Client Access on top of
that connection.  You would need to have either a SLIP or PPP line
description defined on the AS/400 for your communications line.

I think that you're out of luck at V3R2 for that configuration, but I
would verify.  Once the connection is established, any TN5250 client
will do (see recent discussions on Mochasoft), so it doesn't have to be
Client Access.
