You'll need to do some async ICF programming to connect an ASCII device to the AS400. If you go the the i-series information center, you'll find documentation under the Supplemental Manuals link for Asynchronous Communications Programming (SC41-5444-00).

We have a customer who's looking at getting a wallboard LED display, but
wants to drive it from the AS/400.  The wallboard has a serial
interface, and there is a spare serial port on the back of the AS/400,
but I have no idea how to configure the serial port or how to get data
out to it once it's configured.

Has anyone done this, or can you point me to some appropriate
documentation?  A google search wasn't as fruitful as I'd hoped.

Cheers
Rob
