Re: Dial-up Networking Through the ECS Line

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Ted,

You need a modem that can handle SYNC for ECS, and ASYNCH for PPP.  The 
7852-400 modem 
that IBM has been supplying with recent AS/400s will do both.  You need to set 
a 
dip-switch (12 from memory) to choose the mode.  Configure a PPP line on the 
same 
resource as the ECS line (currently you need to use OpsNav to this).  Vary the 
new PPP 
line on and make sure it is active (use WRKTCPPTP -- make sure you have 
*IOSYSCFG 
authority) then dial-in from your OS of choice.

This configuration works because I have done it here and was surprisingly easy.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
