Here is a sample config for a host router (it includes both a serial SDLC
interface and Ethernet interface to a AS/400) and a remote router (serial SDLC
interface) using DLSW+. I have left out the WAN configurations (frame relay)
and the routing protocol (EIGRP).

Let me know if you have any question on the configs.
