RE: System Name

My implied meaning is that the System Name is very important in configuring an SNA connection, and not (as) important when Ethernet is the medium (and TCP/IP is the protocol).

I don't understand what you're saying here. SNA is a protocol; Ethernet is
a medium. Comparing SNA against Ethernet is like comparing blue against
boats. (I am reminded of the old quote: "A man without religion is like a
