Re: SNA based commands

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SNA is not a "thing" on the system. It's a structure that
the entire commuications system is based on. There are many
commands related to communications and that will take you down
a VERY long road.

Which SNA thing are you moving away from ? SDLC is probably the
most common thing, but we could be talking about a LOT of different
protocols supported by SNA. You are talking about a framework that
is woven through the entire OS. Pulling out SNA is not a minor issue.

I'm not really sure that IBM can do away with the SNA framework
entirely.


What are you moving away from ?

How much communications do you have ?
