SNAplus2 is a software product that enables HP-UX computers
to participate in an SNA network that includes mainframes, PCs,
and other HP-UX computers. With SNAplus2, you can access data and
programs that reside on other computer systems, thereby increasing
your computing power. SNAplus2 includes the following facilities: - SNA communication
facilities
SNAplus2 nodes can operate within an SNA subarea
network, within an APPN network, or within both at the same time.
For more information about SNA support supplied by SNAplus2, see
“SNA Support”. - Passthrough services
SNAplus2 includes services that support communication
between a host and computers on a LAN, making it possible to reduce
the number of communication links to the host, simplify configuration
of SNA nodes, and provide host access for computers that have no
direct link to a host. For more information about passthrough services,
see “Passthrough Services”. - User applications

For WindowsSNAplus2 provides support for Windows clients (running Windows
3.11, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows NT), enabling
them to access SNA resources through SNAplus2 servers. The APIs
provided for Windows clients support 3270 and 5250 emulation and
enable the development of custom applications. These APIs implement
the WOSA standards and are compatible with the APIs provided with
Microsoft's SNA Server. End of Section- Administration facilities
