Re: Cmd to read from a comm LINE - pt to pt BSC

Joe,

            Should be    S/1     iSeries
                                ENQ  -->
                                  <-----ACK0
                                 DATA --->
                                   <----ACK1
                                 EOT---->

            Then there is the IRS or ITB, and ETB or ETX, and a bunch of
other things.  First time I did this was 1974 (I think) with a SYSTEM 34.
Did it with Series/1s and System 38s in the 80's, and I have done a few with
AS/400s and Banks in the 90s.  Be happy to try and help if you want...  Have
a Library on ??Tape?? around here somewhere with my Bysnc tools.. Do you
have an SST Comtrace ?? Or you using something external like ComProbe ??
