Yes, Chuck. On Ethernet (or Token-Ring), the IBM 5494 runs only SNA. It 
is not able to perform IP protocol. Don't confuse ethernet which is the 
physical layer and IP which is the network layer protocol.

The IBM 5494 can run only SNA protocol on either an ethernet, a token-
ring, an SDLC (switched or leased), or an X25 connection (there is also 
something with a FrameRelay connection but I don't know anything about 
this).
