I can't agree with doing away with SNA. We use the SAVRST* commands of ObjectConnect to move things between 400s. It is much easier than using FTP for this, as it encapsulates things in SAVFs as needed, automatically. Setting up AnyNet is very easy - I'd have to look up the details, but not hard to find -> Communications manuals of some kind.

You also need to have entries in the system directory to support this, but, again, not hard to do. I think an *ANY entry of some sort can give everyone access.

I use FTP for all kinds of things, as well, so I'm not at all an SNA bigot. For data, FTP is great. But when you need to copy a single object or library to another 400 on your network, I have found nothing easier than a couple nice little PDM options that activate SAVRSTOBJ or SAVRSTLIB.

Yes, you can do what you want to do. First off, using SNA stuff (SNADS,
DSPT, etc.) can be done over TCP/IP by using AnyNet. That's an IBM
method of encapsulating SNA in TCP/IP. The two 400s would each be
talking SNA, the transport across the network (including the Internet)
would be TCP/IP. Look in the Info Center for AnyNet - it's pretty easy
to configure.

However, I would also suggest doing away with SNA. You have all the
TCP/IP capabilities of Telnet, FTP, etc., and you may find that you
don't need SNA anymore. Regardless, if you have Ethernet cards in the
400s, you can connect the two over a TCP/IP network. Again, check out
the Info Center - you'll find step by step guides to configuration.
