Dan, Not to sidetrack this discussion or anything, but do you HAVE to use a dialup connection ? Reason I ask is that we have to FTP a file to a credit bureau each month. We are on a "private" frame relay network. I have totally automated the sending via FTP of this file and it works great :-) Chuck -----Original Message----- From: Dan Bale I'm no comm guru, as you'll soon see. If there's a good RTFM resource, by all means please point me to it. If there's a published free application with source that does all this, I'd love to see it. I am trying to educate myself on what is involved in automatically establishing a dialup connection so that we can FTP several files from the AS/400 to a server once each day - with NO user intervention. Messages with "good" or "bad" results could be sent to a special message queue. Assuming the configuration is "set", what does my program have to do to vary on (and in what sequence)? Should I be checking to see if some other job is using the same dialup line that my program wants to use? If I have to vary something off to vary my ???stuff??? on, then I would want to vary that something back on after I'm done. What are "resources", "line descriptions", "controller descriptions", and "device descriptions" in the dialup communications context? - Dan Bale (I am *NOT* "Dale" http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200105/msg00281.html ) SAMSA, Inc. 989-790-0507 DBale@SAMSA.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur. (Whatever is said in Latin seems profound.)
