Thanks for the quick reply. OkayI hate to sound stupid..but I don't 
know alot about Linux yetso I may be in over my head already!!  
Anyway, I use twinax behlan connections on a star box to connect all the 
other pc's/terminals to the as400 .. connecting my laptop..(what 
type of connection should I use with Linux?---i have the ibm5250express 
pcmcia card--just don't know if it will work.)  connection desktop units 
running Linux(what type of connections do I need?)With the windows systems i 
am using BosaNova Twinax cards for the desktops now.

Note: I do not have an ethernet card in the as400..(I am also not a 
networking guru.as if you couldn't tell!  :)
Do I have to have an ethernet card in the AS400? - 
Thanks again.

[newbie] Using tn5250 to connect to the AS400

2001-07-03 Thread DAVEinDSM

Don't know if anyone here has used tn5250 to connect to an Ibm AS400.but 
was wanting some information.

I am using a Toshiba 1605CDS laptop running Mandrake 7.2  trying to 
connect to our AS400 at work...  I have a pcmcia card (IBM 5250 
Express--worked with a windows system).. and have tn5250 rpm 
installed..

Any ideas ?  I don't really find much searching the internet.  Any 
suggestions are appreciated..

PS:Thanks to those who helped me with the Zip drive..!!
