RE: Any 5250 Cards recomended?I have heard horror stories!!!!!

["Rich Duzenbury" <rduz@xxxxxxxx>]

I picked up a BOSaNova twinax card.  It has a 'stealth mode' where it can work 
without taking up high memory or IRQ's if necessary, and it was cheap.

I was in your exact situation, no bux for the net card.  So I improvised!  I 
had an old 486 DX4-100, 16MB ram, 100MB disk, a copy of NT Server 3.51 (don't 
laugh - it works!), and the SNA server that goes along with it.  I didn't stick 
the twinax card in my local machine, I stuck it in the NT server, of course.

It works great.  About the only thing I haven't been able to do is to have 
someone on the internet proxy to the NT server.  I probably just don't know 
which ports to set up on the proxy for the SNA client.

Regards,
Rich
