RE: Ops Nav & OS/400 v5r1 & SLIP Profile

I thought  SLIP support had been dropped in V5R1 - now PPP only ?

Hi Vernon,
                 the WRKTCPPTP screen is there on my iSeries too, but no
options to
create a SLIP profile.

I will let you know how I get on next week when I've been back to the site
and had another crack at it.
Have a nice weekend.  Thanks for your support.

Jeff Bull.

I'm coming at this from creating a new profile (receiving type). So I get
a
window with no tabs. This lets me pick SLIP or PPP, switched or otherwise
line, and type of line service. Then I click OK and get the real stuff. 5
tabs, "General", "Connection", "Authentication", "TCP/IP Settings", and
"Other".

You must have existing profiles. Maybe the manual migration means, as you
say, delete and recreate the profile. And maybe even the line description.
Could not find more to explain what IBM means.

BTW, WRKTCPPTP exists on the machine I'm on, and it's at V5R1. I was able
to add a profile there. Do you have that command?
