Hi,

	I am working on some enhancements of the SDLC features in our 
	version 1 DLSw products.  I have a basic question about SDLC. 
	Are RIM  (Request Init. Mode) and SIM (Set Init. Mode) 
	universally used for initializing link-level functions or are 
	they implementation dependent ? If they are optional, then how 
	would the remote station know if RIM/SIM are being used ?

	Thanks in advance,

Madhukar Khare

It is implementation dependent:
3274 controller do not send out RIM, SIM;  3745 does.

The protocol conversion must send this information end to end and
synchronize between the two end points.

Hope this helps.
