Hello

Does somebody knows if there is something like a 5394 controller which
could be connected directly to Ethernet and talks SNA to the next IBM
(AS/400 with Ethernet) ?

My idea:

Using the Ethernet as connection between two sites (in fact it goes
over several routers (Cisco) and remote bridges (Vitalink)) and save
dedicated SNA leased lines..


	+------+
	|AS/400|
	+--+---+
	   | SNA over Ethernet
	   |
  +--------+----+--------+    
		|
	     +--+--+
	     |Cisco|
	     +--+--+
		| 64kB/s 
	     +--+--+
	     |Cisco|
	     +--+--+
	   	|
  +--------+----+--------+    
	   |
	+--+---+
	|"5394"|
	+------+
	 ||||||
	 |||||+---- Terminal
	 ||||+----- Printer
	 |||+       Terminal
	 ||+		"
	 |+		"
	 +--------- Terminal

Is there something similar around?

I know, one solution is PC Support and a Ethernet card...
But not anyone can have a PC ....

BTW. What's the maximum of users, able to work over a 64kB/s 5394
controller?

Daniel
