Greetings, and HELP!

I am new to setting up dial up PPP communications.  I have checked the
archives, and not found anything I can use, or I don't recognize it as
answering my question.

What I am trying to do is set up a PPP Line/Controller/Device description
in OS/400 to allow a PC to dial the iSeries, and get a 5250 screen.

What I would like to find is a setup wizard that will configure the
line/controller/device, and tell me how to set up the PC.  I am assuming
that the PC (W2k) would be using a dial up similar to dialing to an ISP
internet connection.  Then I would use Personal Communicaions (or iSeries
Access) 5250 to telnet into the iSeries, or give the 5250 a IP address and
act as if the iSeries was on the same LAN as the PC.

If you can point me to the archives, that would be good.  If you could
point me to a red book that would be great!  Any help is appreciated,
needed, and desired.

Thanks in advance!!
