This would mean that there are mainframes (something running SNALINK) on the endpoints of the SNA conversation. I would have RS/6000s on at least one end of each conversation, with a 3745 attached to a 3090 acting as a central site. This would work if there was something like SNALINK for the RS/6000. Is there such a thing? Tom -- Tom Wiencko (w) (404) 977-4515 gatech!stiatl!tom Wiencko & Associates, Inc.
