RE: Communication problem -- MIDRANGE-L

I have seen Internal system Failure message on comms before.  I have
found that either an IPL (sounds like Windows) or a reset of the IOP
will solve the problem.

We have a modem which dials in to the BACS network here in the UK.  It
is now not connecting and I get the following message on QSYSOPR;
Message ID . . . . . . :   CPA5877       Severity . . . . . . . :   99
Message type . . . . . :   Inquiry

11:56:50

Message . . . . :   Contact not successful on controller BACS. Internal
syst
  failure. (C R)
Cause . . . . . :   The system cannot establish contact with controller
BACS
Recovery  . . . :   Do one of the following:
    -- Type C to cancel recovery and to inform any applications that are
  waiting for an operation that the recovery has been canceled.
    -- Type R to try the operation one more time.
    If the problem continues, press F14 to run problem analysis. In
addition
  try varying the controller off and then on again using the Vary
  Configuration (VRYCFG) command.
Possible choices for replying to message . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
  C -- Cancel.
  R -- Try again one more time.
Technical description . . . . . . . . :   The exchange identifier (XID)

code
  is: *N (SNA: X.25 diagnostic code not specified), (CCITT/ISO: X.25
  diagnostic code not specified).
    For more information on XIDs, see Systems Network Architecture

    For more information on X.25 cause codes and diagnostic codes, see
the

  X.25 Network Support book, SC41-5405.

Another application that uses the same modem is generating 'Controller
not contacted' messages. I changed the modem over so that our ECS line
pointed to it.  Sent a test service request to IBM and it worked! Any
suggestions
