I wrote a paper on connecting your AS/400 to a NetWare LAN. We don't have public FTP access here (that I know of), so your best bet is to either call 800-221-6402 and ask for "How to connect your AS/400 to your NetWare LAN" or to download it from the NOVA forum on CI$ (DL16 or 9/AS4CON.TXT, see also TWEAKS.TXT). File transfer is pretty simple if the file transfer is initiated by someone on the LAN, especially if that someone is computer-literate. Almost any method of AS/400 connection will work. You didn't say how the PS/2 users on the AS/400 were connected to the AS/400, except to say that they weren't on ethernet. If they're on TR, it's certainly possible to give them access to a NetWare server. If they're connected via twinax or SDLC, no can do. I'd avoid putting ethernet on your AS/400 for now. It's still pretty new technology and the few people who I know have tried had to jump through a few hurdles to get it to work. If people are interested, I can post the papers we have on the subject. -- Skip
