Okay, first things first - get yourself a IBM TN5250 emulator - they're available on the net somewhere. And the LinuxSNA (or SNA for Linux) package - that may be stable - it's something to ask about. I suppose I could ask when I get myself a decent place to stay at, and so get back online. The LinuxSNA package may come as a loadable module. I've got the thicknet adaptor at home, it adapts from thicknet to rj45, so drop around and pick it up when you feel like it.
That should allow you to connect to it from Linux. Apart from that, I don't know too much about it - best place to ask would be at the IBM place in town - and there are a few businesses in town that use AS/400. Of course, do what you like with it! :-) Thanks for taking it off my hands anyway, Andy. It's much appreciated.
