RE: What do I need if I want to use an "Options" modem?

Well, it works just fine. I powered down the system, opened up the cabinet, 
found a slot that was unoccupied, stuck it in there.  Closed the cabinet, 
powered up the system.  WRKHDWRSC *CMN showed it as CMN18.  Then I started 
the iSeries Navigator and ran thru the Univeral Connector to configure the 
ECS line.  Works like a charm.
