Re: Multiprotocol 115.2 PCI Adapter

Once the NetSoft router is installed (easy) and working (the trick) either
client will work as the router insulates the client from the hardware.  That
was IBM's SNA objective but there proved to be too many layers of overhead.
I would suggest you move to TCP/IP but, knowing you from the list, you must
have some overriding need to implement SDLC.
