Re: Death of SNA?

["Urbanek, Marty" <Marty_Urbanek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following link says they are dropping SDLC, but in the detailed paragraph 
"WAN protocol (SDLC, X.25, FrameRelay) alternatives" they specifically say 
"non-switched". What about switched (dial-up) SDLC?

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/v5r3suggested_alternatives.html

Seems like if they're still going to offer a synchronous comm card (capable of 
running bisync) they could still let us do switched SDLC. Anybody know?

Thanks,

If you still need SNA, you can still use ANYNET, or your SDLC card (if you 
still have one).
