not a real useful reply Gerwin...
certain schenarios call for this technology - mainly for legacy IBM-type
networking (in my experience) - SNA and the like. I don't have a whole lot
of experience doing this in a LAN environment but have done a bunch of DLSw+
stuff.
Also here is DECNet, LAT, NetBIOS and the like, so there is call for this
stuff, perticularly in Banking-type places where there is a large amount of
established mini/main-frame type investment where moving away from the
bomb-proof data-processing framework is more expensive than doing a little
clever networking...
best of luck - if you learn this you'll most likely never have to use it,
but if you don't then sooner or later it's going to come along and bite you
in the arse....;-)
take care
Andy
