132.0. "CM and IBM AS400" by POBOX::KINSLEY (Nothing endures but change) Wed Nov 17 1993 22:10

	Other notes have been posted concerning IBM connectivity but no 
	one has posted -- questions on AS400.

	Has anyone connected an IBM/AS400 console line to CM?  Does 
	anyone know of a black box type device that can provide
	connection/communication to a 5250 device?

	Thanks, Jim Kinsley

Jim,

There is a customer, Chemical Bank in New York, who have connected an AS/440 up to 
VCS, it uses a black box to convert the info from the AS/400 into ASCII/RS232
and is then plugged into a Terminal Server. As Console Manager also works
using T/S, then this should work.

If you contact Craig Saint-Amour @NYO, he is the account salesman, he will be able
to find out what that black box is. When you find out, please post the info back 
here.

	Dennis, thanks for the information on the Andrews box.  I will
	follow up with the vendor to get more information.

	The opportunity is to provide centralized command control for
	16 VAXs, 16 AS/400s and about the same number of Novell fileservers.
