The main advantage of this type of gateway is that everything that can speak TCP/IP, including Macintoshes and PCs, can access the SNA hosts identically, with the same keyboard mapping as well. The only problems I've had with it seem to have been related to the use of 3Com 3C505 intelligent adapters in some of the pc's that access the gateway. A trace revealed that the 505 cards were not responding correctly, causing the Mitek to hang. The Mitek software ought to be robust enough to keep the box from failing. The next release will be, I'm sure.

The next release will be, I'm sure. What release of the Mitek software are you running... I have their high speed gateway connected between our AS/400 and TCP/IP and have not had a problem...
