We have a pair of systems (prod and dev) - each with two Token rings cards - that need to be converted over to Ethernet instead. I was wondering if someone can give me some idea of what my pain points and level of effort on this might be. I have some spare ethernet cards that we can place in the machines, so that should not be a problem. One TR card on each machine is used strictly for machine to machine communication - mainly for MIMIX. So each machine has a TRLAN line description and an APPC controller underneath it referencing the other system. The second TR card on each machine is used for the TCP/IP traffic. In addition, on the production server this TR card is used to talk to a couple dozen 5x94 controllers at remote sites around the country. So I have a TR line description with a few dozen APPC controller descriptions that auto-configed when the 5x94 controllers were lit up. At a high level, can someone give me an idea on what is involved to move all the communication objects from the TR lines to the new Ethernet lines, and what 'gotchas' I should be on the lookout for? TIA, Scott
