- Glenn's right, but beware...there seems to be a problem with AIX 3.2
- handling the additional authentication method. I was just about to
- ship out a modem (and remote port) authentication scheme that Fred
- Stearns (of Dickens Data) and I worked on. It's been running on my
- AIX 3.1 2007 level box for a year. When I hooked it into 3.2, it
- failed.
-
- Austin's Defect Support says PTF U407535 for APAR ix25638 should fix it.
