Folks,

I am looking for a connection to make between a UNIX box ( Motorola, Sun
Sparc ) and an IBM AS/400 over TCP/IP.

I have the tn3270 program, but from what I've heard, I need a different
protocol to talk to the IBM AS/400, which is said to be the 5250 protocol.


Questions that I have are :

	
	(1) Is there a program available ( freeware or commercial
		package ? ) I saw Rabbit software offers the
		RabbitPLUS 3270 (TM) package, but can I talk to
		the AS/400 with this protocol ?
	
	(2) Does anyone out there have any experience in connecting
		these two machines ?

Thank you all who've read this far.
