Frank,

Depends. You san you are moving from SNA to IP but not what your enviroment is or what the mission is. Fiber or Token Ring ring for example is much cleaner in my estimation for inter-system communications. I would rather have a predictable network Token Passing, that the unpedictability of a Collision Domain for HACMP connections for example. Now this may still be an IP Socket verses and APPC Peer connection ...

On the other habd if you are talking about tons of workstaions all over the world needing VPN style connections then I would think an TN5250 connection (Client Express) would be much cleaner than 5250 LU 7.0 connections any day...

So what is you are asking about here ???

JMS.....

Question, We are in the process of moving from an SNA environment to an IP. Do we lose anything is doing this, in terms of the AS/400?
Thanks,
Frank
