It's worth noting a significant difference between the 2 configs. AnyNet SNA over IP (TCP62, etc.) made an appl-to-appl connection. EE makes an APPN node-to-node connection. The application does not care, of course, but there is more to setting up the connection if the nodes are not already APPN nodes. On the other hand, setting up a connection with another node is trivial once everything in the SNA world is using APPN. And, of course, the EE connection can automatically handle any other SNA sessions you care to add once you have it in place >... >Mention of TCP62 raises an alarm. ... Wasn't TCP62 just the name of the non-VTAM AnyNet SNA over IP LU6.2 component? The manual may have been terrible, but the "client" implementation had to be written to some spec, and TCP62 was that spec (I assumed). Was anything other than than LU6.2 support implemented using AnyNet SNA over IP? I know PComm supported AnyNet as a "protocol", but I thought it used APPC3270. (I don't have a clue what the PComm 5250 AnyNet support used.)
