RE: Getting a File to a PC with No Client Access

Vern,

IIRC, that was a last-gasp option that was abailable on the last version of
twinax adapter that IBM sold.  I remember looking for the tcpip drivers for
it, but I could never find them. It allowed you to use TCP/IP over a twinax
card, to the as400, which could then talk through ethernet to an ISP.  It
was intended as a cheapo way to give twinax connected PCs access to the
internet or network resources without having a second NIC.

IBM Personal Communications (parent of Client Access PC5250 emulation) or 
Communications Server provide the Sockets over SNA (AnyNet) function, 
supposedly. This'd allow TCP/IP stuff over your twinax cards, I think. 
There are performance implications, as well as more complexity, of course.

Guessing a little
