RE: Remote office connection

It may slow your connection a little, but what would one be willing to pay
for the extra speed?  SNA would be your connection from the NT server back
to the AS/400, while TCP/IP would be the connection from the NT server out
onto the internet.  SNA would be a little more security for your AS/400
keeping it off the internet.  It's just one way of doing it, there are other
ways that will work just fine.  I suppose it comes down to a matter of how
much time you have to get the system up and running, cost and other factors
that will dictate witch way you might want to go.

                Why would they need  the M.S. SNA?  Won't that just slow the
connection,
                as well as complicate it dramatically?
