Visara offers a 3745 like replacement device: FEP 4600. http://www.visara.com/
We looked at the box and liked what we saw, but we expect to be completely off of bisync soon. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carlos Bodra Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 4:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Replace old BSC 3 connections **** This question was cross posted into OS/390, VSE and zVM discussion lists **** Hello Today we have an IBM MP3000 with 04 WAC cards, 03 of them running BSC3 and on running a back-to-back vtam connection. We have a bid to replace this machine by a new z9 and get some software advantages. Today we have no problems with CPU or memory bottlenecks. Ou problem is limited to substitute access from WAC cards, so we can keep BSC3 lines sending data to application program. Simple solution could be an IBM 3745 model 170 (smalest) to keep same cenario and migrate from adapter cards to a channel independent machine, even connect thru Escon converter. IBM says no more NCP software licenses are available. What we can use as a substitute for WAC cards now how to connect this solution to z9? Thanks in advance for any comment or hint Carlos Bodra ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
