Can VMS talk SNA? If so, I'm in :)

Where should we go from here? Setting up our own virtual X.25 PSDN tunnelled over IP maybe? Something crazy with SNA?

SNA! SNA! :)

I could set up Hercules here running MVS 3.8J ... ;)     I'm sure the folks have been able to get SNA to work within the emulator.   I set up Hercules and MVS once, but other than a novelty, I really didn't do much with it, because most of my associates wouldn't know a mainframe if it ran them over.   I think it would be interesting to get something quasi-public (on HECmet) going.

prefer is not that which they view as the current direction.
