iSeries-iSeries Communication

> For many years we have used the "old" BPCUST library that contained
> routines that allowed two iSeries to talk to each other over SNA (I
> think).  My 270, and now my 800 didn't have a modem that supported the
> SDLC protocol.  But, I still need iSeries boxes to talk to each other, one
> with the older modem and one using the new internal modem.  Is there a
> "common ground" that will mimic the BPCUST library functions (so I can
> start a session and then use STRPASTHR or better yet, TELNET).  My
> objective to deliver a library of these functions so that my users will
> just run a command that prompt them for a phone number, and the functions
> will configure the lines, start whatever services are required and then
> present a menu of options such as start Passthru, telnet, FTP, etc,
> similar to the way the BPCUST library took care of things (if you are
> familiar with the BPCUST library which I think was an IBM Business Partner
> add-on).
