So many responses, so little I know. I believe the project (as my boss is
wont to call it) to connect the 'new' as400 to the mainframe, is probably
(but I'm not completely sure of this) going to be running the same programs
the older one did. They did mostly inhouse apps of a database nature, and
some ftp. That probably will not change. The reason they need to connect to
the mainframe is that their 'terminals' (read pc's) do double duty, i.e.,
they are mainframe terminals (CICS mainly) and also AS400 terminals when the
need arises. So, in effect, the AS400 is one menu selection off a USSTAB
provided by VTAM. In addition, there are AS400 terminals which access
applications on the mainframe. The following is the SWNET definition
currently in effect:

I'm not going to quote the whole thing, but you get this idea. This AS400 is
connected off a TIC on the 3745, TRNLG1 is a LINE GROUP, H29C881 is a SW SNA
MAJ NODE.
Does this help?
And thanks for all the suggestions so far.
