Message-ID: Date: 8 Feb 90 21:47:23 GMT Sender: IBM TCP/IP For VM List Reply-To: IBM TCP/IP For VM List Lines: 16 Approved: NETNEWS@PSUVM Gateway We have installed a PRONET-80 network supporting IP, DECNET, IPX, and XNS. Unfortunately, SNA and NETBIOS are not supported by Proteon. We have a large administrative 3270 network and are searching for strategies that will give people using Personal Communications/3270, and other such packages, on a LAN good service. Preferably, we would not assign IP addresses to every workstation solely for tn3270 access nor do we wish to invest heavily in SNA gateway boxes. I would like other people's ideas on alternatives especially if they are currently available somewhere. We have even been kicking around the idea of 'tunnel' gateways to allow SNA transport via IP.
