Re: SDLC, 2793 and IOP-less mode

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't specify the any connection types when I ordered the machine 
from IBM (it is under the developer program).  We have a communications 
utility on our model 800 (which is being retired) and the new i5 was 
looking for an SDLC resource when we fired the utility up.  We use the 
utility pretty infrequently so it isn't a big deal.

Here is what I could get over the wire (sorry about the formatting):

Is any of this useful info or do you need something else?
