These links disappear during IPL (technically during power-off), so they
are candidate for the startupprogram.

Three ways.  /QFileSvr.400, /QNTC and NFS.

The iSeries supports all 3 (obviously) so for iSeries to iSeries 
communication, you can use any/all of the above.

Unix supports both NFS and /QNTC (the latter is supported using a
program 
called SAMBA)

And of course, jolly ol' Windows works with /QNTC.

Each system tends to work best with it's native system... i.e. the
iSeries 
with QFileSvr.400, Unix with NFS, and well.. Windows never really works 
well. :)
