Thanks for the quick reply. Okay----I hate to sound stupid......but I don't
know alot about Linux yet........so 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.
