RE: Faster ECS line

Jeff,

This is from the PSP (V4R1):

New Electronic Customer Support (ECS) ports are now available on the USA IBM
service systems that are capable of running sessions at 19.2 K baud
(existing ports can run at a maximum of 9.6 K baud). If you have a modem
capable of running at this speed (e.g. 7852) you can improve the performance
of your ECS sessions by changing the connection number for ECS on your
machine to one of the following:

        1-800-237-8804      Eastern USA
        1-800-525-2834      Western USA

The primary use of ECS is to download PTFs via the SNDPTFORD command. For
information on how to change the connection number for ECS on your system,
refer to Chapter 7 of the AS/400 System Operation publication.


Hope this helps!

Subject: Faster ECS line

I finally hit the big time. <g>

I replaced my old 5853 ECS modem with it's screaming 2400 bps with a new
7852 model 400 capable of 33.6k bps.

Imagine my surprise when using it for the first time this morning and it
connected at 9600 bps.  I changed QESLINE to LINESPEED(19200) (the max
it would allow) and LINKSPEED(*MAX).  I tried it again and it was still
at 9600.  Is there something else I need to do to the line or controller
descriptions?  Or a different number to call?  The line is still
DUPLEX(*HALF) also.

Point me to any info.  Thanks.
