Re: Addition: IP over SNA connection (X.21) -- MIDRANGE-L

Philipp,

Can you print the line description and send it? You can print it like this:

    dsplind lind(line-name) output(*print)

If there are any controllers or devices associated with the line can you
print these, too?

   dspctld ctld(controller-name) output(*print)
   dspdevd devd(device-name) output(*print)

It's OK if the descriptions are in German!
