RE: SNA over TCP/IP

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pat,
A T1 is 1.5 MB/sec.  What Mike is looking to do is run over a 1GB adapter.
I assume that his 2 AS400s are on the same LAN.  Of course this is not over
a WAN connection.
Of course SNA does not care about the speed, however perhaps for what ever
reason IBM decided not to support SNA over the 1GB adapters.  I don't have
one, so I can not say for sure.

Just to be a little "picky" about somthing...

SNA doesn't care how fast you run. The hardware adapters do.

They have been hooking up full T-1 lines to IBM gear for a
very long time. I understand that 1GB is a published number
but I question how that can possibly run over any public network... "Maybe"
over straight fiber, but wire lines over pswtn sounds a little far fetched
to me.
