Hello Does somebody knows if there is something like a 5394 controller which could be connected directly to Ethernet and talks SNA to the next IBM (AS/400 with Ethernet) ? My idea: Using the Ethernet as connection between two sites (in fact it goes over several routers (Cisco) and remote bridges (Vitalink)) and save dedicated SNA leased lines.. +------+ |AS/400| +--+---+ | SNA over Ethernet | +--------+----+--------+ | +--+--+ |Cisco| +--+--+ | 64kB/s +--+--+ |Cisco| +--+--+ | +--------+----+--------+ | +--+---+ |"5394"| +------+ |||||| |||||+---- Terminal ||||+----- Printer |||+ Terminal ||+ " |+ " +--------- Terminal Is there something similar around? I know, one solution is PC Support and a Ethernet card... But not anyone can have a PC .... BTW. What's the maximum of users, able to work over a 64kB/s 5394 controller?
