["Urbanek, Marty" <Marty_Urbanek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

Is your system supposed to answer or dial?

How is it supposed to dial (manual, dial on DTR, V25bis, etc)? What kind of
modem? Has the modem lost its configuration for some reason?

Is the phone line good? Have you plugged a phone into the modem or where the
modem plugs in to see if there is a dial tone? If you call the same number
your system is calling, do you get an answer? Is it a modem answer tone?

Does the modem dial? Does it get and answer? Does the CD/LSD ligth come on?
Stay on?

Do you get any errors from your RJE application? Any errors on QSYSOPR?

What about the other end? What is it? JES? Is the appropriate remote
started?

Did this used to work before? Did anything change on either end?

-Marty

Sorry, I couldnt get back earlier but I still need help, please.

My problem is that only the "LINE" stays active (see below).
I'm not an AS400 expert but I was told as displayed
on the terminal, it is:

LINE  --------------- ACTIVE
  CONTROLLER -------- VARYON PENDING
      DEVICE -------- VARYON PENDING

and the application from BSC "LINE" is RJE.

using my black box, RTS does not come high but when
"LINE" is varied off and on, it does something runs,
all lights lit mommentarily seeming to wait for some
kind of response. Then in a few seconds the RTS drops
and nothing again.
