Yes, we've done exactly that -- at least with partial success. Our only problem was that the SNA-tunnel can't get through frames larger than about 1500 or 2000 bytes unfragmented. If I remember right, this isn't actually a problem with the tunnel itself, but rather a limit of the hardware of the serials: they are limited to 1500 or 2000 bytes (don't remember the exact figure though). If fragmentation isn't a problem for your SNA-applications you should be happy with the STUN connecting FEPs though. We've had no configuration tuning besides proxy-poll in order to keep the WAN responsive. On the software-side we used 8.3(1) and 8.3(3). (we've done our tests some months ago) -ewald -- Ewald Jenisch | E-mail: ewald.jenisch@cc.univie.ac.at Vienna University Computer Center | z00ejr01@awiuni11.bitnet Universitaetsstrasse 7 | Tel: +43 (222) 43-61-11 x251 Fax x170 A-1010 Vienna, Austria | NIC-Handle: EJ63
