Lou, I've had great success accessing our AS/400 from PCPLUS. Here's the
device description I use on the AS/400 side for a modem connection (IBM
7855's):

In PCPLUS I modified the VT100 keyboard profile according to the AWC manual's
specs for VT100 operation. Works great! Let me know if you need to see the
DEVD for a direct connection instead.

For future reference, Markus, the ASCII Workstation Controller automatically
translates 5250-style block data to ASCII stream data. There really is no
"block mode" for a device hooked up to an AWC. It also handles the translation
that allows any of a number of ASCII terminals to emulate the IBM 3196 and 3197
models. In addition, serial printers can be attached and made to emulate any
of a number of different IBM-series printers.
It's a really nifty device. It's allowed us to have remote users call in from
virtually anywhere from Macs, PC's, laptops, and even other minicomputers, plus
it allows Async PC Support sessions (*not* recommended at speeds < 9600bps
<grin>!!)

Aha! Now I understand the problem better. You will probably have to setup the
keyboard configuration to match the sequences the AS/400 likes to see, for
instance:
^M = Enter
^J = Field Exit
Esc^M or Esc^J = New Line
Esc 1 = Cmd 1 (F1)
Esc + = Cmd 24 (F24)
Esc U = Roll Up
Esc D = Roll Down
^R = Error Reset
These are just a few that I have memorized. I'm pretty sure I found the codes
in the ASCII WorkStation Controller manual.
