Re: SNADS

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I don't know if snads is "going away" because of IBM disabling it or just 
fallen out of favor.  If it is the former, I haven't heard anything like 
that.  Granted you can't do SNADS over a 1gb ethernet line without using 
ANYNET to package it up under tcp/ip.  But most snads die hards don't find 
ANYNET all that hard.  If it's because it's fallen out of favor then that 
hardly seems conducive to a demand for a product.
There were few advantages to snads.  One would be the "fire and forget" 
capability.  Like do a SNDNETF and if the comm is done the sender is not 
tied up.  Instead it waits in a distribution queue until you get comm 
and/or the remote system back working.  Another advantage are the SAVRST* 
genre of commands.  This, there are already several freebies out there to 
emulate this in tcp/ip.

SNADS






I am looking for some feedback on the use of SNADS.
My understanding is that SNA may be going away. 
I am looking at a product that can do the functionality of SNADS using 
TCP/IP.

My question is how much demand for a product like this exists in the 
midrange market?

Thanks for your thoughts,
