GPLed Linux-SNA

[Seth Cohn <scohn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I quote from the press release (found via Linux Today)
http://www.newsalert.com/bin/story?StoryId=CofCGubKbyteXndC&FQ=Linux&Nav=na-search-&StoryTitle=Linux

The software is nowhere to be found (not at the URL below)

Could someone write to Turbolinux and find out where the gpled code
is?  Sounds like something tn5250 could really use.  Imagine an SNA
enabled box that runs 5250 emulation.

TurboLinux Releases Linux-SNA Connectivity Software to Open Source;
Technology Pushes Linux into High-End
Enterprise Market

Jump to first matched term

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 1999--TurboLinux, the high
performance Linux company, today announced it was releasing to the open
source community
key technology for connecting Linux to IBM mainframe legacy systems. 

"TurboLinux is committed to Open Source and developing new technologies
that take Linux into the enterprise," said Cliff Miller, CEO of
TurboLinux. "We're building upon
our leadership in Linux clustering and integrating Linux into legacy
computer systems to protect our customers' IT investments." 

The Linux-SNA technology, released under the GNU Public License, is
available from the TurboLinux web site with more information at
www.turbolinux.com/partners. 

Linux-SNA, currently under development on the 2.3.21 Linux kernel, allows
SNA mainframe networks to communicate with TCP/IP networks. It can be used
as an SNA
client or server with complete graphical integration from installation to
server management. It is fully compatible with Microsoft SNA Server and
IBM Communications
Server. 

It includes a new low level LLC layer, new Token Ring drivers, ESCON and
Bus/Tag channel support, advanced API support for SNA, high performance
routing, and runs on
Intel architecture hardware. 

Jay Schulist, the original developer of the Linux-SNA technology, recently
joined TurboLinux. Schulist, active in Open Source as a key contributor
for Linux drivers and
networking layers, is the most recent addition to the TurboLinux team of
leading Open Source developers, including John Terpstra, a co-founder of
the Samba project.
