RE: Utilizing 2771-V.24 port for EDI.

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob:
The modem speed is not the only dtermining factor whether 2 modems will
connect.  You can not use a sync modem at 9600 to talk to an async modem
at 9600.  You also can not get a 9600 BSC to talk to 9600 SNA.  The IBM
modem does not do 208.  There are very few modems that support the Bell
208 standard, and even fewer support it with v.25bis autodial.  I know
that UDS made one a few years back.  You really only have 2 choices, use
9.6 and pay LD or 800 service, or manually config the AS400 to use the
4800 modem since the Harbinger software will not config it any more.
Call me if you want and we can discuss.

Also, a booklet for the IBM fax/data modem says that it will support all
these speeds for sync, including 4800.  However the dip switch diagram
on the bottom of the modem says use switches 13, 14 to set the speed.
And the lowest setting, via these switches, is 9600.
