We have a R6 using SDLC to connect HOST With Modem 28.8K

Can we change the modem to 64k?
i have check the user's Guide!

it says  (copy from user's guide)

What physical interface do you use?
I know V.35 can do 64Kbps, but the
V.24/EIA-232 standard does not go that high.
For X.21 and V.36 you could check the
IEEE or ISO web pages to see what the
standards say.

How long is the cable from the adapter to the modem?
Longer cables (and poorly shielded cables) can
have signal loss and noise problems which mean
they don't run well at higher speeds.

1. CS/AIX LU0 Primary on 2-Port Multiprotocol Adapter

Greetings,

I've hit a dead-end trying to configure a LU0 Primary line under
CS/AIX 5.  This is on a F40 running 4.3.  What's new to me is the
2-Port Multiprotocol PCI Adapter.

IBM refers to this as a "shallow" adapter - one with no onboard
co-processor.  It uses a hdlc driver instead of tw.  And for some
reason smit doesn't show a 'manage ports' option for it.  I can't get
any device for it to show up in /dev (ie: /dev/mpqd0).  The lu0server
program is looking for a valid device, and failing with errno=2 when I
try things like hdlc0.

Link/X.25 documentation has a specifc appendix to address differences
in the 2-Port.  I've drawn a blank in CS/AIX docs.  Is this adapter
supported?

Thanks for any and all help,
