Re: SLIP Connection and KFLEX modems

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alan:
Did you change your modem too, or just on their side?  If you changed your
modem, you will need to go in and modify you point to point connection
configuration.  Keep in mind you can modify the dial string, or create a
custom version of a moden defn.  Also, last time I check (this may have
changed under V4) the max speed you could config a V24 SLIP connection is
19.2.  If you connected to the ISPs modem then I say it is NOT a modem
problem.  Are you doing dynamic or static IP addressing?  Are you using a
connection script?

Sorry I have more questions than answers.

Subject: SLIP Connection and KFLEX modems


|I have been successfully handling email on the AS/400 (V3R7) via TCP/IP
|with a local internet service provider.  I am his only SLIP account, but
|it works.  Yesterday I was informed they are changing their modems to
|KFlex technology.  When I dial in to the new modem I get an active
|connection, but I cannot ping or do anything else.  Now I am having the
|usual fun run around.  The ISP never heard of an AS/400.  The IBM
|support line says it's a modem issue.  The best they can offer is a
|Consult Line contract.  Does anyone have any ideas of what to do or who
|to turn to?
