RE: Asynch autodial out -- MIDRANGE-L

Jeff:
Couple of things.  If your modem is an async modem, the you probably want to
do dial up PPP or SLIP.  Depends on the OS version you have.  Slip was
supported at v3r6 or 7 and PPP at V4R1.  You can config SLIP without ops
navigator.  Look at the command CFGTCPPTP for a little more info.  Basically
on one AS400 you create the *DIAL profile and the *ANS profile on the other.
Once you establish the connect, then you can FTP or DDM over it.

If you have sync modems, you would config a dial up SDLC connection, and do
SNADS or DDM over it.

Subject: Asynch autodial out


Hi all,
        I've had a nose through the archive, there was a thread 16 months
ago on this
subject, but it didn't have a particularly good match for my problem ...

        a) I have an asynchronous modem attached to a V.24 port on my
AS/400;
        b) I want to use it to automatically transfer a (small) file to a
remote AS/400;
        c) I guess I need to configure an Asynch Line, Controller and Device
for it;
        d) I would like to be able to use a DDM file, or perhaps FTP to do
the transfer, as
            I plan to use a CL program to control the process (RPG is not an
option).

Can someone point me in the right direction for the config and most
appropriate transfer
technique ?  I've also had a look in the manuals and redbooks ... no luck.

Kind Regards,
