Re: hardware question regarding config PPP connections

Forgot the reference document that mentions this:

http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/1ac66549a21402188625680b0002037e/a9663b7ad397058a86256625006b4bca?OpenDocument&Highlight=2,PPP,adapter

It mentions the following:

The requirements for PPP are similar to SLIP, but there are two main 
differences the user needs to 
be aware of:

One of the below Input Output Adapters (IOA) must be installed in order to 
configure PPP.


2699 - - Two-line WAN IOA 
2720 - - PCI WAN/Twinaxial IOA 
2721 - - PCI Two-line WAN IOA 
2745 - - PCI Two-line WAN IOA
2750 - - PCI ISDN BRI U IOA (2-wire interface) 
2751 - - PCI ISDN BRI S/T IOA (4-wire interface) 
2761 - - 8 port analog modem IOA 





Secondly, the user must also have Client Access Operations Navigator under 
Windows 95/NT in order to fully configure PPP or SLIP at the R420 level. A 
Client Access license is not needed, but the 
user needs the base load of Client Access to access the Operations 
Navigator portion.

The message is correct.  2609's & 2612's do not support PPP. 
You would be restricted to a SLIP connection.
I don't believe there is any comm hardware for a model 400 that supports 
PPP.

I am trying to configure a PPP connection using Ops Navigator.  I have 
does
many of these in the past with no problem.  I am trying to configure a 
model
400 at V4R4 and when I try to create a new line description (again in OPs
navigator), I get an error saying that the hardware in the machine does 
not
support creating a PPP line desc.  Below are the comm cards I have in this
box, I had hoped to use CMN03.  Can anyone verify this to be a problem, if
it is what hardware for a model 400 do I need?
