I follow SNA closely, and no of nothing at the moement. I've been toying with writing yet another SNA stack. I've already started some of the development, but on Solaris 2.5 x86. I do intened to move it to FreeBSD when it is usable and a) FreeBSD has LLC2 support b) pthread 1003.1c support c) (possibly need) 1003.1b support. I'd do "a" myself if everything else SNA related is finished and LLC2 didn't "show up" already. Thread support is "rumored" but I'm not sure it will be the portable api as of yet. What type of support are you looking for? I'm looking to build another PU5. I'm _not_ looking at building "applications" such as 3270 emulator, RJE, nor a TN3270(-E) server. My initial goal is to have an LUA api which others can put these sort of applications on top of. APPN and APPC will be "add ons" in my sort of "development plan." MikeC -- Michael C.
