On the AS/400 side you need to look at                                          
Either (for V3R2)                                                               
                                                                                
  5763-MS1   OSI Message Services                                               
  5763-OS1   OSI Comm Subsystem (required by the above)                         
                                                                                
Or (or V3R7)                                                                    
                                                                               
5716-MS1   OSI Message Services for AS/400 Version 3 Release 6 and              
5716-OS1   OSI Comm Subsystem for AS/400 Version 3 Release 6                    
                                                                                
On the AIX side it is a little more complicated.                                
AIX OSI Services/6000 was withdrawn on December 28, 1995                        
(see PLET ZP95-0581). I urge you to read this to understand what                
has happened to the products. The solution you are looking at                   
today is OSSC and you should route your customer to Openet                      
in Dublin (phone : 00353 1 492 9899 fax : Same with 902 on the end,             
e-mail openet@iol.ie)                                                           
They will handle the OSSC product range.                                        
I have two contact names there : Declan Conway and Killian Stokes.              
Killian would welcome a call from yourself to tell him who the customer         
is and to take things further if desired.                                       
Answer..........:

Further thought...may be worth considering Information Exchange from            
IBM Global Network who may provide this all for them as a service               
for a fee of course!!
