Just touching back on this subject with the group - thanks to some able assistance in the local area, I was able to successfully load and license the iSeries 820 we were able to acquire to version 5.4. All that works nicely - except - there was no ethernet card in the machine. I thought that there was, but that tuned out to the the console port. How embarrassing….

I was able to configure up an old PC with an IBM 5250 Express PCI card which comes with TCP/IP over twin axial drivers, and that works okay to a degree. I seem to have managed to configure it so that only one TCP Session at a time can happen. It can happen from anywhere on the network, but only one session makes it kinda rough. The docs for the card hint at multi-session capability, but I have no ideal if that means SNA sessions only, or if the TCP/IP stack can handle multiple requests. I would hope the latter, but greatly

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Network looks like this:


iSeries [192.168.20.1] <———> WinNT 4 [192.168.20.4]
[192.168.10.40] <<———————>> Internal network

The NT machines routes between the 192.168.10.X network and the rest of the world.
Yours,
-Paul
