Re: Urgent - AS400 Connectivity Problem

Hi Chuck,

TR is nearly the same, only the numbers change in the game.
Oh, and I forgot about that possibilty you mention  ...  :-)
... but cards of an AS/400 don't just "die", do they ?

The last point I don't understand from the original point of view
of the discussion about MAC addresses.
If you did not change to an IP only network since your Token Ring
days, then you got the same old problem.
Ok, nowadays I would use ANYNET to map SNA schemes to
IP Adressing schemes and you are done.
