Re: 2664 Fax adapter at V5R1/2

Granted, not supported and not functional are two different things, 
however the 'word' is
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/v5r1hardware.html

Now the V5R1 documentation recommended the 2761.  However the V5R2 
documentation yanks the 2761 and pushes the 2805 or 2806, (depending on 
your country).  We have the 2805, and it does have a nasty tendency to 
fail, port by individual port.  IBM hasn't given up yet and has sent me 
some testing equipment.

Also future releases of OS/400 will not support SPD.

I love reading those statement of directions, like AIX on iSeries (SOD - 
April 2002).  I guess the recent announcements confirmed that one.

Hi folks

Is anyone successfully using a 2664 integrated fax card (two line model)
at V5R1 or V5R2? It's listed by IBM as supported on V4R5 but might
suffer performance limitations. It doesn't get mentioned at all on the
hardware upgrade planning page for V5R1 or V5R2, and IBM's word is it's
not supported. Now not supported and not functional are not necessarily
the same, so I'm trying to find out if we can stick with it or have to
find another solution first.

We're planning to go to V5R2 via V5R1 (at V4R4 currently, so need the
two step upgrade) so that's the level that needs to support the card.
Having it work only at V5R1 would gain us some breathing space though.

Regards, Martin
