Hi, currently we have a TR link going into a FEP which connects via bus and tag to a 9034 which then connects via ESCON to a z196, but we're going z13 and so need FICON link. The CNA8000 would appear to be able to replace both the FEP and the 9034 if we configure it right as it has TR and FICON ports. We're stuck with TR.

For that excercise I would ask what about TR and Eth networks connected via some router supporting TCP/IP protocol. For Visara I bet you could get something like local (non-SNA) console with TR connection, but from host point of view it works like OSA-ICC console/terminal. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ====================================================================== -- Tre�� tej wiadomo�ci mo�e zawiera� informacje prawnie chronione Banku przeznaczone wy��cznie do u�ytku s�u�bowego adresata.
