I just ran a new 520 config yesterday in eConfig and the default was a 9493. So if you get a proposal from someone make sure you check to see that the 9793 is included if you need to use the second port for anything. That's one of the first questions I ask when I am interviewing a prospect about a new system or upgrade: "Are you using any traditional (i.e. modem) communications in your environment?" After that I ask: "Are you using any sync communications?"

I don't believe this would be the default on a new system but you never know. (#9493) - Base PCI WAN for ECS The #9493 is a WAN with modem adapter that provides connectivity for IBM Electronic Customer Support (ECS) only. This feature is the non-Complex Impedance Matching (CIM) version offered in all countries except Australia and New Zealand. #9493 is functionally equivalent to #0614, #2793, and #9793, but #9493 indicates to IBM configurator tools that the IOA is being used by i5/OS in an IOP-less mode. When in IOP-less mode, the adapter function is restricted to communicating to IBM ECS on port 0 (modem port). Port 1 is the RVX port and is not supported in an IOP-less mode. Port 0 supports V.92 56K PPP, V.92 data modem, and V.44 data compression. Port 0 does not provide synchronous modem capabilities (SDLC and synchronous PPP). Kendall Kinnear wrote:
That's because what you got is a 9493 (IOP-less) in marketing terms.
The
9793 is the old IOP-required feature. IBM started defaulting the 9493 into the configurations in the last couple of months.
