RE: Retrieve IP Address using Telnet exit point

[Jeffrey Stevens <jstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Evan,

In the October NEWS/400 there is an article on our TCP/IP support, including
Telnet User Exits.  One useful function described is what is called 'wildcard
device support', where a device name is created using fixed and variable parts.

Click on "Telnet Exit Program" in the column on the left and the middle of the
page to get to it.

By the way, the Exit Points are QIBM_QTG_DEVINIT format INIT0100 and
QIBM_QTG_DEVTERM format TERM0100, and you are also correct in that the devices
are not yet allocated.

I did fix a bug in the reverse DNS feature - you can use this to allow only
those clients in your reverse DNS to connect.  Plus, you can name the devices
after the hostname of the client based on the reverse DNS output....I like that
part, and use it in-house for our RF folks (I found the bug setting it up for
our RF folks!).
