AS/400 Communications Utilities, 5728-CM1, will allow an AS/400 to exchange files and mail with VM, RSCS and PROFS systems. It is scheduled to be available November 25, 1988. For details see IBM announcement letter 288-292 on IBMLink or from your IBM representative. VM/RSCS/PROFS BRIDGE The VM/RSCS/PROFS Bridge, a function of IBM AS/400 Communications Utilities, provides support to allow the movement of mail and files to and from VM PROFS and RSCS, using BSC protocol. This support could also include non-adjacent PROFS and RSCS nodes connected to the VM RSCS system. (Don't throw out all your EP lines yet!) Bob Shair, Advisory SE IBM Champaign

I have a copy of an announcement stating that Mitek announced TCP/IP networking software for IBM's new AS/400. The article states that the software products will be available in November when IBM is scheduled to release a version of the AS/400 system software that includes connectivity facilities. I guess this means you could also hook an AS/400 to the internet. Let me know if anyone wants more info and I may get courage and type in the entire article as it is only about 10 paragraphs long. -Tim
