RE: ICF Problem

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was kind of wondering.  Is anyone using ASNYC to connect 
two 400's for passthru, DDM and other SNA traffic?

In general terms... bisync is a whole different world. In bisync the
system initiates the call, causing the modem to dial. Once the other
modem answers, it's up to the program(application) to control the
link(read keep the line up). For most other protocols the low level
connection(modem to modem) is done at the system level and the
application only uses the connection. 

With all that said I think you will have some programming changes to
make to go from a bisync connection anything else.
