> CAN you EMIF an ESCON 3174? As others said, not in non-SNA mode. Sorry -- been chasing some SNA APPN buffer mgmt stuff in linux-sna and got pointers crossed.
That does point up another difficulty for the newbie -- they have no way of knowing that kind of thing. We know to check IBMlink, but it would be interesting to know if that kind of information is prominently located somewhere in the packing materials. I'll add it to the VM FAQ later today just for reference. (BTW, looks like used prices for 3174-22Ls have dropped recently; they're now in the $5K-6K range. Still high, but still cheaper than a 2074. To whoever posted that the 22L is rack friendly, thanks for the tip -- that solves a problem here.) -- db
