We have some old IBM 4230 impact printers. They currently connected to our AS400 via a twinax connection. They have a parallel and serial connection. We would like to eliminate the old hubs and connect via Ethernet. Any suggestions?

You can do this. You need an ethernet to serial converter. The printer plugs into the serial port of the converter; the Ethernet port of the converter plugs into your LAN. You must assign these static LAN IP addresses.
Go to B & B electronics web site and look at their serial serviers. There is a link below. The ESP 901 is excellent for a single serial device.
I have used these servers for a number of applicaitons where I needed to put a serial device on the LAN. They work very well.
