In this environment, if you are using Windows 32-bit operating systems you
can use the DB2 Connect Personal Edition Integrated SNA Support to connect
directly to the host or AS/400 servers. DB2 Connect Integrated SNA Support
permits connections over a variety of local and wide area networks, such as
Token-Ring, Ethernet, SDLC, Twinax, Coax and Asynchronous dial-up. The
DB2 Connect Integrated SNA Support implements both APPC and MPTN
connections over networks using hosts and AS/400 systems that have IBM
AnyNet products installed. Users of OS/2 workstations can use IBM Personal
Communications for OS/2, or IBM Communications Server for OS/2 to
achieve direct APPC and MPTN connectivity.
