A couple of years ago, when our communications folks were upgrading to Enterprise Extender (or some such), IBM was pushing this at them for VM like it was already a done deal. Talk SNA out one side of the mouth; TCP/IP out the other, kind of like a salesman does. You mean that IBM doesn't already have it up and working? Nothing was said, so far as I know, about any development efforts to get it to talk that way.
