John, I had a problem with putting a ctc connection in as a conventional interface so it comes up with the network service. It seems that "ifconfig"ing the first side of the pt-to-pt connection works fine, but if you "ifup" it (as the network script seems to do), the process will time out for like 10 minutes waiting for the other side to come up. So on a RHEL4 system I just added some commands to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and did the same on the other side:
echo "Bringing up interface ctc0" modprobe ctc echo 0.0.0600,0.0.0601 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/ctc/group echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/ctc/0.0.0600/online ifconfig ctc0 10.0.1.1 pointopoint 10.0.1.2 mtu 1500 up It's not the cleanest solution, but it worked for me.
