Re: 3270 emulation and TCP/IP and Terminals

Adam,

The as400 has something called ANYNET.  It allows SNA to travel over a
tcp/ip link. You need to find out if the mainframe supports ANYNET ( which
it probably does ) and then get the mainframe people to config it on their
end ( probably much harder to get done ).

Regards,

Steve Richter
