Has anyone ever been successful in hooking up with the service IBMLINK via modem? I have been trying to dial into this service for about two weeks now. I get to the login screen, where it asks for the terminal type. And then I get bombed out by what looks like a surge in the line or something. I end up having to disconnect when this happens. IBM says that I have a bad direct line. I have a hard time believing that because we send hundreds of files out daily using this same line, and rarely do we get any errors due to the line noise. I am running under AIX 2.2.1 RT, and using an ibm3162 as my terminal type. I have had no success from my ibm3162 terminal or from the console (ibm5151). I have my device settings set correct according to the IBM representatives. Any help would be appreciated.
