Cisco router would not help. Since those are SNA devices and NIP requires NON-SNA. You could use "Operating System Messages" on HMC and then use SNA MCS consoles.
If you are on newer hardware with OSA, ICC is the easiest way to go. Nat >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1/18/2006 2:21 PM >>> You didn't mention your processor. But offhand I can think of: 1) Integrated Console Controller (ICC) with OSA Express 2) IBM 2074 3) Visara SCON and ICON products Number 1 can replace 2 and 3 if you have the hardware. I'm not sure if a Cisco router with CIPs and running TN3270 server will work.

What can we do to upgrade this old hardware to something a little more current? We also will be moving to 1.7 within the next 6-8 months. Can this help?
