RE: Nat, IP Filter, Etc.

["Bob Cancilla" <bobc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Art,

Yes, the "interface" is built over ANY adapter or "line" on the AS/400, not
just NIC cards.  It was actually built in anticipation of VPN support.  So
in your case, the PPP Dialup is built over a "LINE" description.  That will
work fine.

Bob:

Thanks for the excellent example.  This follows up nicely your excellent
net.data examples.

Instead of two network cards, can I use one network card and a PPP Dialup
interface to my ISP?
