RE: Using modems to connect two iSeries

John,

I think the problem with the modem (I still a few flavors hanging around
here: a 7855 (9600 bps) and a dog slow one(2400bps)...) is that my 800
doesn't support it without a different controller card (as I recall).

Yep. Good ol SDLC and SNA was the way we wanted to go.  Didn't realize we
had to specfically tell IBM that we wanted to do SDLC when we configured
this thing.

Thanks,

Pete
