Re: Programming the serial port from the AS/400

[Wayne <wmcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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).
