Rob,
You don't need distribution services since there is no SNA to
configure. EE is included with the TCP/IP utilities and object
connect. We are only discussing SAVRSTxxx and STRPASTHR, not all the
other SNA components. If you need them do it, it's still simple!
You may need the directory entries but most folks have those anyway and
if not a reasonably simple CL program can add them for you.

Perhaps Jim was thinking of a migration from AnyNet to EE and figured the
above was already configured.
No additional option of SS1? I saw 22 for SAVRST... but isn't EE a
different option?
I did see this:

midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx Larry is the undisputed expert here,
but this is what I look for: (V7) 1) Object connect is loaded (5770SS1
option 22) 2) Changes to the network attributes: NODETYPE(*NETNODE),
ALWHPRTWR(*YES), and VRTAUTODEV(100) 3) Add an APPC controller (Larry
and I always call it ENTERPRISE) link type (*VRTAPPN) 4) Add an APPC
controller with linktype (*HPRIP) using the IP address of the remote
box 5) Add an APPC device back to the first APPC controller That's the
rough outline. There are a couple of details missing but that's the
jist of it. Jim Oberholtzer Chief Technical Architect Agile Technology
