Hi Bernard:
We use Oracle Transparent Gateway for DB2/400 (Oracle7.3.4 and Oracle8.0.4, OS/400 V3R2) and Oracle Access Manager for AS/400 (same versioning). OTG lets you create database links that point to an AS/400 rather than another Oracle instance, making the AS/400 *look like* another Oracle instance, with some limitations:
Good luck,
