Jalili, 'Minimum change in configuration' will be difficult. How about Enterprise Extender? ( SNA through TCP/IP ) You would have to change your hosts from subarea to APPN.
How are the branch-offices currently connected? Using DLSW? More information is needed about the current network configuration. Be aware it will not be an easy process and lots of testing is needed.

Maarten Slegtenhorst -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Hi all, I know that my question is not completely related to this list,however I hope that some one can have advice or comment. We are using NCP/Token-Ring interconnection physical and logical lines,and using automatic LINE and PU generation with the AUTOGEN facility in LOGICAL GROUP,and by using VTAM switched major node we are connecting more than 2000 branches of a bank to M/F(using three 3745).Our manager wants to replace communication controller(3745) to OSA-express. Is it possible this replacement with minimum change in configuration and the protocol? I would appreciate any insight or help anyone may have.
