DO NOT ORDER THAT 2761!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/v5r2hardware.html
The following hardware products or features that were previously supported 
on the iSeries - AS/400 servers will not be supported on V5R2:
Non-Fax functions on #2761 / #4761 PCI Integrated Analog Modem.    Replace 
with #2805 PCI Quad Modem IOA or #2806 PCI Quad Modem IOA in Australia or 
New Zealand 

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/futurehdwr.html
PCI Integrated Analog Modem, June 2002
IBM plans for V5R2 to be the final release to support the #2761 and #4761 
PCI Integrated Analog Modem adapters for fax functions. IBM previously 
announced that V5R1 was the final OS/400 release to support the use of the 
#2761 and #4761 PCI Integrated Analog Modem adapters for non-fax 
functions.

Suggested Replacements: Replace with #2805 or #2806 (Australia / New 
Zealand) PCI Quad Modem IOA.

Martin,
I'm doing an upgrade next weekend for a customer who does use the 2664 
cards
heavily.  I've been trying to get the same questions answered, a couple
posts to this list.  So, I called Supportline.  I was told "it is not
supported, but it will work".  Not 100% "feel good", but good enough for 
me.

Luckily, after b*&@#ing for about a year, I got approval to order a 2761
this morning.  So, I may not have to worry about it.  I will have to
reconfigure facsimile/400 though.

In short, I think it'll work......  I'll sure be happy to see the 2664 go
anyway, it was not a good piece of hardware when it was new, much less 
now.

Good luck.
