The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.0
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.1
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 SP1
This article was previously published under Q163522 SYMPTOMS
SNA Server versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, and 2.11 Service Pack 1 do not support
the use of a Digi card over the IBM SDLC and X.25 link services.
CAUSE
The two main limiting factors for using Digi cards with the IBM x.25 and
the SDLC link services are:
- the lack of provision for multiple link services accessing the same
instance of the driver.
- the need to support significantly larger BTU sizes.
STATUS
An update to SNA Server is available; it was modified to enable support of
Digi cards with the IBM SDLC and X.25 link services.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.0,
2.1, 2.11, and 2.11 SP1.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
