SNA■ps: Third Party Token Ring Cards and Routers

1) I just want to verify that the SNA*ps client piece will run with third-party token ring cards.

2) When running SNA*ps Gateway (on an Apple token ring card), are there any issues related to accessing mainframes across routers such as Cisco?
1) SNA*ps Gateway requires Apple Token Ring cards. It doesn't support third-party Token Ring cards. SNA*ps Gateway communicates with distributed Macintosh computers via ADSP, so the distributed Macintosh computers can have third-party Token Ring cards as long as they are TokenTalk compatible.

2) The Cisco router provides both AppleTalk routing and source routing bridging, so it should work with SNA*ps running either as a gateway or distributed SNA*ps 3270 on AppleTalk (LocalTalk, EtherTalk, and TokenTalk) networks.

To locate a vendor's address and phone number, use the vendor's name as a search string in the Tech Info Library.
