Re: SNA Security

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

99% of SNA is no longer supported including anynet.   There are bits and
parts that are still used but pretty rare.    I would not waste time on it.


SNA was a far superior network than TCP from a security perspective however
generating  the NCP was not for the faint of heart.  I got good at it, but
geesh it was painful.
