Re: Configuring TCP PTP Profiles

I don't think there is a "list" exactly but this
old story gives a few hints:

http://as400.rochester.ibm.com/tstudio/tech_ref/tcp/ppp/ppp1.htm

Uhhhh ... Bolder web site seems to be "down" so I can't
point you to the article in question...

Further to this discussion, is there anywhere I can get a definative list of
which IOP's etc will support PPP comms ?

I have a small list but it is incomplete to say the least.

an update on my progress ...

I believe I have discovered the cause of the apparent 'bug' in iSeries Nav,
and configuring the TCP-PPP connection.

I expect IBM-devotees, or any IBM developers will smile, smuggly ...

When you click on the drop-down list to select the available resources, and
you only get one resource ...

It could be that the IOPs (or IOAs) do not support IP :-(  certainly
2623+2609 do not.  I was trying to configure a PPP connection on a model
720, it had loads of SPD based IOPs, and many V.24 adaptors.  It is my guess
that the iSeries Nav wizard knows this and (correctly) excludes them.  It
would be nice if IBM could make a minor addition to the help text to explain
why the list might not contain all the resources one might be (incorrectly)
expecting.

I understand that the 2-line WAN-IOA #2699 may support IP - I have yet to
determine which IOP is plugs into.

Hi Marty, thank you for replying.

The other V.24 comms adapters are identical as it happens.

I am using SLIP to maintain consistency with some older AS/400s (v3r2) that
do not support the later PPP standard; it's not brilliant but it does what I
need - when I can configure the d??n thing.

The symptoms on other iSeries were identical, updating the Cum pack and
client service packs did resolve it in the past.

I can see that the response to this cry for help is overwhelming so I will
struggle on ...

Kind regards,

Jeff,

I'm thinking that just because you can run an async modem on it doesn't
necessarily mean it can run PPP or SLIP.

You have one hardware resource showing up. Does it happen to be a different
feature code than the ones that are not showing up? I wonder if the cards in
question do not support SLIP.
