RE: SNA over TCP/IP

["Mike Shaw" <mhshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pat,

SNA is not supported if you are using the iSeries 1 GB Ethernet Adapters.
Nothing to be picky about, if you want SNA SNADS, you will need AnyNet if
you make the choice for 1 GB adapters.

Just to be a little "picky" about somthing...

SNA doesn't care how fast you run. The hardware adapters do.

They have been hooking up full T-1 lines to IBM gear for a
very long time. I understand that 1GB is a published number
but I question how that can possibly run over any public
network... "Maybe" over straight fiber, but wire lines over
pswtn sounds a little far fetched to me.
