The preferred method is via the "LAN Channel Attach" (i.e. the 8232 and its replacement.) This device provides for Ethernet and Token-Ring TCP/IP connections to the mainframe. I do not think that IBM supports a TCP/IP connection via SDLC (either directly SDLC or via a TIC to a 3174 which is using SDLC.) If you find that there is indeed a method to TCP/IP through a 3714 (other than the new box from Mitek), please post or email! -- Kevin Kleinfelter @ Management Science America, Inc (404) 239-2347 gatech!nanovx!msa3b!kevin "Don't hold your finger on the button if the motor ain't goin' roundy-roundy."
