SDLC cfg and 7857 modem

[KirkG@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

OK, It's been a while since I did a SDLC cfg, but I used to do them in my 
sleep. I'm trying to setup a dialup connection via the ECS modem (7857). I 
do a CRTLINSDLC followed CRTCTLAPPC and CRTDEVAPPC on both machines. I'm 
being careful to use the proper network, local controlpoint name, remote 
location name and stationIDs. The controller on SYSa points to the lind on 
SYSb and the other way around. It dials, the other system picks up the 
phone and shortly after I get very generic can't complete the call 
message(sorry don't have the msgid right now).

I've tried APPN *NO and cfg'd the devices manually. I've tried APPN *YES, 
CRTCFGL APPNRMT and added the target and still just can't complete the 
call.

This is between 2 V4R4 machines. The source has a 7857 modem. One target 
machine I tried has a 7852, the second target I tried I'm not sure of the 
modem. The last time I had to do this QSYSOPR would be filled with 
messages with sense data that would do a heck of a job telling me what I 
did wrong. Non of the 3 machines says anymore than call failed. All three 
can order PTFs via their modems.

I seem to remember something about these 7857's but I can't remember what. 
I searched the archive but 5853, 7855, 7852 and 7857 all come up "0" hits. 
MODEM does get 1326 hits and 7852 is in the text of some docs but the 
search won't find it.

anyone have any ideas... this isn't that hard, I know it
