Re: Configuring AS/400 to dial out -- MIDRANGE-L

Albert:
You are correct, I wasn't near a machine to verify the command.  Anyway, I
have set it up for a few clients and it is pretty straight forward.  Do you
have the TCP/IP config manual.  There is a pretty good explaination of how
to set it up in there.  Off the top of my head here is a very quick overview
of exactly what needs to be done.
1. You dont need to config TCP/IP on the AS400.
2.  You need to define a ASYNC line defn for the AS400.
3.  We have used US Robotic modem with dial up TCP and they work well.
4.  Use option 1 from the CFGTCPPTP menu.  I don't have access to any of the
AS400 I have set this up on at this time, but that should be about all there
is to it.

Are you using PPP or SLIP?  I have set up the 400 to call another AS400 via
SLIP and have PCs dial into a 400 via SLIP, but not actually act as a router
between 2 networks.  I believe you need to all fowarding of IP packets (I
dont remember the keyword).  Also, you will need to define a route between
your network and the remote network.

Sorry I'm not that much more help.
