Tony,

I will send some information directly on configuring this, just had the 
opportunity to do 
this last week.

This is a direct "cut" from a Tech Tip from News/400:
"When using PPP to dial in, you can optionally dial directly into the Electronic
Customer Support (ECS) port"  by Carole Miner, IBM senior software engineer

Can I dial into my ECS modem using PPP via CA Express from a PC?  All the 
documentation
and supportline info I can find on this states that I need a 2699, 2720 or 2721 
PCI
adapter card in my 170.  I only have the one that came in it, a 2745 (according 
to
wrkhdwrsc).  Either I don't understand the statement above, or this conflicts 
with the
info I can gather.

I am waiting for a DSL line to be connected up, but need dial-up capability 
much sooner
than they'll run the lines (4-6 weeks, and I need a dial-in next week).

I appreciate any help with this, otherwise I'll have to purchase the card and 
only use
it for a few weeks.....

Thanks.
