of the lack of an ARP server; signaling protocols should only matter with SVCs and not with PVCs.

3.On the F50, use smitty chg_atm, select the ATM device and change the field SVC UNI Version from auto_detect to uni3.0:

You may leave the Network Interface field blank, as at0 is the default interface on the device atm0, but you must change the Connection type from svc_s to pvc. As stated, we had no ARP server available, which is a prerequisite for any SVC type connection. Consider a PVC to be a permanent point-to-point connection; we will have to give the identification of the partner in the next SMIT screen.
