PLAY THE EXPERT:  SNA to TN3270E Conversion An ITKnowledge Exchange member asked: We currently have centrally located IBM 390 mainframes connecting to iSeries machines in state field offices, which are using SNA -- SNUF devices. We are eliminating all SNA traffic, in favor of TN3270E connections. Has anyone converted an SNA/SNUF setup to an all-TN3270 setup on the iSeries (if possible)? Any leads would be appreciated.
