RE: Ops Nav & OS/400 v5r1 & SLIP Profile

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I looked at InfoCenter and saw a reference to a manual migration from V4R5
SLIP to V5R1 in Ops Nav. Don't know details.

Did you go down into the config by pressing enter on the Properties for the
Connection Profile? The Connection tab there has a place to put the line
name, which would be the one that connects to your modem, right?

Haven't done thisyet. But was surprised that clicking OK brought up the
other PPP parameters.
