First off, can anyone out there tell me what protocol an AS/400
uses when you get the Ethernet Lan Option from IBM  ??  I do not
have the manuals handy, but if someone could tell me if they 
support TCP/IP (with whatever software if needed) then I could
get on to my second question.

My second question is right now, we have got a Novell lan running
around with 1 fileserver and 2 lan cards plugged into it.  This gives
us 2 separate Novell lans that go to different places.  Now we have
pluged the AS/400 into this, so that using some terminal support 
package on the PCs we can use the AS/400.  The problem is that the
Novell filesever won't pass the packets across to the other lan
that came from the AS/400, so all the users on the "other" lan, can't
talk to the AS/400.

We can't just plug the lans together, otherwise we get traffic
problems, so the idea was to put a router between them to shuttle
the AS/400 packets across.  Does anyone think this won't work ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
