Coming into the AS36 via via SDLC with an SDLC card and external modem is
not available for Win95 (DOS only as 5294 emulation - no APPC on SDLC).
Another way is via an SNA Server/tokenring connnection in which case you
would be using RAS on NT to get dialed into the SNA Server (async modems).
A third way is via Synapse RemoteAPPC via tokenring to the S36 for up to 16
simultaneous dialups.

I don't believe PC for 95/NT does anything on the AS36.

Comments?  I know it won't do autosync but ASCII Workstation Controller
(not avail on AS36 or AS400e) probably works.

Configuring SSP is mucho different.  Synapse has a document describing APPC
via tokenring document.  Goto www.synapse.com, support, AS36 configuration.
