Hi guys,

I'm on OS400 V4R5 on a 510 box with current CUM.

In my environment, we have regular AS400 applications, VB applications and some 
ORACLE data connection.  We also have remote connection from arround the world. 
 NS Router connects to an SNA server for access to the system.

Given this evironment, is there any reason whatsoever that the SNA server has 
to be in the picture.  Can I do away with the server because I am having too 
many problem with the folks administring the server giving a steady connection 
for a whole week without some kind of a glitch, that disconnects the users.  I 
also want to eliminate the NS Router emulation and go with CAE cause NS Router 
is not supported on Win2K, which is the current OS of choice in my environment. 
 So I have VB folks saying they can not go to Win2k because they have code 
written that will not work if OS is changed from Win95 to Win2k.

Someone educate me here.



Thanks,


Dare
