RE: AS/400 PPP connection to UUNET

Jeffery,

* We don't have the Iseries  
* I have created a ppp connection using  Operations Navigator
* I have tried CHAP AND PAP
* l am having some success at connecting to UUNET
* I could supply you with the com log and QEZjoblog if it will help
* I am having trouble understanding the scripting involved with the
connection

We are currently using a Windows 95 dial up connection to connect to UUNET.
Once we have establish the connection we drop down to a C: prompt and issue
a FTP IP address logon to a bank. I would like to remove this manual Windows
95 process with the AS/400 PPP connection.


Thanks
