It is OS/390 1.3 and the OSA card has only one port OSA card that supports Ethernet and Token Ring.
We have a 3745 we want to get rid of. It has a total of 6 printers and terminals that are still SNA. We have DLSw router in front of the 3745. We are trying to get rid of the 3745 and just directly into the DLSw router.

You don't need any more advice here - unless it's about the basics of defining a logical 3172 to VTAM - and possibly the SNA software in your partner node with which I anyhow could probably manage to help you. This has nothing to do with TN3270 which is another way to handle "SNA over IP", specifically a TN3270 TCP commotion concatenated to an SNA session both supporting the 3270 data steam. The OS/390 1.3 is a bit of a limitation. I think this predates Enterprise Extender as an option but probably falls into the era of AnyNet SNA over IP. Here it is important that your partner node also supports AnyNet SNA over IP. You'd better post again explaining what you *really* want to do and be clear about what your partner node is - and at what level of software - and the URL where the documentation can be found - or we'll all have to have a conversation over what its capabilities are. You may also need to be clear over what you have done to your OSA feature since I can't quite make out how you have configured it. To which platform does "SNA Gateway Server" refer. I hope it's not also something antique that belongs on the IBM platform! Something occurs to me: you say OS/390 1.3 but do you mean z/OS 1.3, which is rather less lost in the mists of time. If so we'd need to re-evaluate the possibilities for Enterprise Extender.
