Re: ECS via the Internet, Does it work?

Has ANYONE Made this work yet? I have V5R2 on a number of client systems. Every one has AC3 and CE3 installed. Exactly ONE of those systems has connected to IBM, and that one Exactly Once and that connection was slower than dialup both in connect time and download speed across a Full T1. I have not had the time to beat the cr.., um sorry, converse with those in Rochester about this.

In V5R1 we flat gave up because they had imposed rediculous rules like "You can't have a firewall!!" DOH!

Lets say that so far I am WAY not impressed.

We are at v5r2 and trying to establish our ECS by internet connection.
Have run the wizard in iSeries Navigator.

When we go to start our profile under Originator Connection Profiles,
we get the message "VPN server not started".  Further investigation
gives us the message "A cryptographic access provider product is not
installed".

If you have had any success with this...we would appreciate your help.
