Re: Some more ethernet questions -- MIDRANGE-L

1. There's a startup program where this can go. You RTVCLSRC QSYS/QSTRUP
and put it somewhere, then modify it as needed. Or you may already have
this on your system. WRKPGM *ALL/QSTRUP will give you a list of all that
exist (and maybe that you are authorized to).

On recent releases, the host servers, needed for things like Client Access,
and probably other client products, is started when TCP/IP is started.

Here's from the TCP/IP Reference:

STRTCP will start the TCP servers that have autostart(*YES) in their
respective configs. You do that from the TCP/IP config menu.

2. Most emulators have the ability to specify device names. If you don't
you get a QPADEV*. Check out the session config for each one. Normally, if
you  try to use the same device name from different PCs, there will be a
conflict. Some clients have a way to auto-increment the name somehow.
