Is there anyone out there who has used SNA SDLC LU0 (pipeline) protocol for
communiations on the AS/400?

I am working on a project to provide interactive credit card authorizations
from our AS/400.  When given the following list of protocols, I initially
selected 3780 BSC because I am most familiar with it, but the credit card
processing company suggested LU0 for the best speed, and a lower cost
network connection.

The available protocols are:

3780 polling/select master (point-to-point) BSC
3270 polling/select master (multipoint) BSC
3270 polling/select master (without control) BSC
NCR/Stores IV polling/select master
IBM SNA/SDLC (LU0 or LU2)
X.25

(note: the preferred protocols are the SNA/SDLC options)

A quick scan through the books CD pointed me in the direction of Retail
Communications and SNUF, neither of which I have any experience with.

What I am looking for is anyone who has done this before who may be able to
point out the pitfalls.

Thanks in Advance.
