Presenting a detailed overview of AS/400 communication hardware and software capabilities, this handbook demonstrates how AS/400 systems - IBM's most profitable product -fit into the puzzle of LANs, open systems, proprietary mid-range systems, mainframes and wide area networks. The text explains how to connect systems and applications using AS/400 technology, as well as how to benefit from the AS/400 PC Support Product by understanding it and avoiding its pitfalls. Other topics covered include LAN software and hardware technologies that PC Support can use to access an AS/400 host and third-party communications products that provide niche solutions to IBM product deficiencies in multi-vendor and LAN/WAN internet-working. This reference text includes contributions from IBM AS/400 experts, AS/400 software vendors, system integrators and consultants which should give readers insight into all perspectives of the AS/400.
