As far as I know, there is no facility for the Bitnet (RSCS) protocols
on the AS/400. The System/3x's support RJE (Remote Job Entry) with
optional packages, and from what I understand, the RSCS protocols use
a RJE protocol called NJE (Network Job Entry) - then again, the manuals
are at work and it's a Sunday...

As far as the "AS####" machines you mention - they don't sound like an
IBM part number. Lots of machines such as DEC VAXes, Burroughs mainframes,
etc. are on the net, all using RSCS. For example, VAXes use a package
called JNET from Joiner Associates.
