DAL for MVS/VTAM: SNAps Over Token Ring

We run SNA*ps over a Token Ring connection to an MVS/VTAM host. We'd like a DAL Server for MVS/VTAM to access through the Token Ring network with LU6.2 protocols (APPC).

Will the Token Ring connection work for DAL access with SNA*ps to an MVS/VTAM environment?

DAL engineering lab is using this exact configuration, and it should work. We recommend defining a larger RU size in the Mode Table Entry so you can send a larger block size. You should be using SNA*ps version 1.0.1 or later. See the member READ ME in the DAL.RUN.JCL library on the installation tape for additional information.
