Have you tried to set up a dial up PPP connection to the remote AS400 from
your PC to get the various parameters correct?

Hope something in that is useful.  What little I get out of it is that 
there is still an issue somewhere.

I did the config with ops navigator.

Modem is a US Robotics async modem.  max speed 9600 - but only 
connects at 14400 due to limitations of 232 interface card (so I was

told).

All transfer with ZMODEM reset the modem at start of session and 
leave modem in command mode at call completion.  The P-t-P config is 
the only issue.  At least, I am assuming that ENDTCPPTP is the proper 
way to terminate a P-t-P connection.  I do not see any parameter that 
might effect the state that the modem is left in.  As I recall 
(dimly), normally when a call is terminated (by
ZMODEM) two status LEDs are on, but after ENDTCPPTP, at least one 
additional LED is on.  I can't recall which LEDs.  If the specific 
LEDs are relevant, I can attempt to read the tiny labels.

To be clear, this is not the ECS modem.

John, I have do quite a bit of PTP from the 400 and not had any 
problems either.  Did you do the config with ops navigator or green 
screen command ADDTCPPTP?
Also what modem are you using.   I know you can totally control the

reset

of

the IBM options modem and even switch between async and sync profiles.

The ZMODEM sessions attempt to send the AT Z command when they initiate.
However, the modem is not left in a command state when the P-t-P 
session is ended.  Actually, a P-t-P session never gets actually 
started, as an FTP will not connect.  At any rate, modem is left 
unusable until power switch is cycled.

I used to do something similar in another life, so this is ancient 
recollection from the primordial soup, but all modems have a reset 
command. You need to use that to set the modem to default values.
Exactly how you do that is left as an exercise, however I dimly 
recall using an async line to pass commands to the modem. It's not 
necessary to actually dial anything via the async line. I know, 
this is pretty vague, but it's cheap too, so maybe it averages out...

I am still attempting to utilize a P-t-P connection from our

What it DOES do is confuse the modem.  I have several scheduled 
jobs that dial out on this modem to other organizations to 
trasmnit

data.

When these sessions are run, ZMODEM is used.  After my P-t-P 
tests, I use ENDTCPPTP command, and the line/controller/device are

varied off.

But, somehow, the modem is left hanging, requiring it to be turned 
off and back on.  Obviously, P-t-P over async modem is not a good 
thing if it leaves the modem useless for other data transfer jobs.
I am wondering if anybody has any suggestions as to how to get 
this configuration to leave the modem is a proper state for the next

use?

Also, I copied the modem script from QUSRSYS/QATOCPPSCR (member
Dial400) to our
modifications library.  I edited it according to instructions in 
SF62386.  The thing I found out was that I had initially placed 
the member into the incorrect source physical file.  I copied it 
to the proper location with no problem.  But, when I tried to 
remove it from the wrong location, the remove failed.  There was a 
lock held on the member, even after ENDTCPPTP and devices were varied

off.

The lock persisted until the next IPL.  Has anybody run into this, 
and, if so, were you able to get the lock removed without an IPL?

We are on v5r4.  I have no idea what cum level, as that is handled 
by the system administrator.  Potentially, this is an issue that 
has been addressed by a cum.
If I knew that, I could relay to the system administrator.


Thanks for all assistance.
