The AS/400 *is* listening on 111.  The issue is TCP vs. UDP, not port
number.
The comm trace I took on the AS/400 shows both failing and succeeding
attempts
coming in on 111.

IBM later called back and said that they do not support NFS mounts over
TCP
on the AS/400, only UDP.

I tried "mount -o udp weyco400:/ /mnt/weyco400" and still get the same
error:

pmap_getmaps rpc problem: RPC: Procedure unavailable
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused

A comm trace of this attempt shows that the connection is being
attempted
with TCP despite the "-o udp" option.

This is important enough to the company that at this point I am leaning
toward banning 7.0 on production machines in our shop.
