Re: Death of SNA?

The following link says they are dropping SDLC, but in the detailed paragraph 
"WAN protocol (SDLC, X.25, FrameRelay) alternatives" they specifically say 
"non-switched". What about switched (dial-up) SDLC?

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/v5r3suggested_alternatives.html

Seems like if they're still going to offer a synchronous comm card (capable of 
running bisync) they could still let us do switched SDLC. Anybody know?

Thanks,
-Marty

If you still need SNA, you can still use ANYNET, or your SDLC card (if you 
still have one).
