[HECnet] Next retro comms project?

I'd love to set SNA up & running on Hercules but I think it's TCP/IP only... :( I've always wondered about the fesability of doing a reverse tn3270 gateway... As to pretend you are a FEP and to serve 3270 sessions you pull from a tn3270 gateway.... I should have kept network captures when I had SNA access to a 390 years ago.. :| On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 8:31 AM, Fred <fcoffey at thrifty.misernet.net> wrote: On Wed, 21 Oct 2009, Sampsa Laine wrote: 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.
