Forwarded question from a colleague: << One of the critical pieces of our new application is a PC client tool that does data analysis & manipulation and shows the users pretty graphs of AS/400 data. Sticking point: it only runs SNA using NetSoft router provided w/Client Access. We only support TCP/IP across our wide area network, my Cisco routers won't route SNA. Now they have this brilliant idea: use AnyNet (now conveniently provided with OS/400) to encapsulate the SNA in IP, thus solving said problem and allowing us to run the existing client software. And conveniently getting them off the hook for making sure they deliver the IP version they claim is in the works on time. Question: ever been exposed to AnyNet? Work OK? Performance hog? Good idea, or stupid idea? I'm setting it up for a test, but any input you have would be appreciated. P.S. According to the config. instrux, you have to MANUALLY create all the device descriptions for the PCs on the 400. Eeeeeee! How primitive <g>. >> +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to "MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com". | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
