RE: Using modems to connect two iSeries

We use the modem connection to customer boxes when they don't have an IP
address we can get to their iSeries with.  Dial up is our work-around.

Ideally, I guess PPP is the way to go since we could use Telnet once the
link is established (I am not aware of any customers of ours NOT running
TCP/IP).
