Re: X.25 , IP and an AS/400

["Larry D. Bolhuis" <lbolhui@xxxxxxx>]

I am doing a very similair setup with SDLC instead of X.25 with 2210s but the 
config is nearly
identical.  Only real problem we had was a code bug in MRS 3.1 that prevented 
the connection from
succeeding until the forwarding of explorer packets was enabled. The bug is 
fixed in the latest
release of 3.1.  When it didn't work right off IBM tried to explain that this 
was a dumb Idea and it
probably wasn't supported! I pointed them to the example in the manual after 
which they dug in and
helped me figure out.
