  • AnyNet (MPTN) vs TCP/IP: Pros & Cons
    Recent tests show that IPDS printing takes three times the number of TCP/IP packets to print the same document via SNA than via native TCP/IP. Imagine the effect on the performance of a 56K frame relay circuit supporting a number of IPDS printers using SNA...! More...
  • Disaster Recovery Assistance for Twinax Users
    In the event of a disaster, the back-up AS/400 switches to IP address 10.1.1.10. All the PC users simply restart their sessions and sign back on. In the same scenario Twinax users can be left without any access to the back-up AS/400--unless they have an e-Twinax Controller. More...
 
 
 
  • TCP/IP Over Twinax - the Technology and its Uses
    Access e-mail, file servers like NT or Novell, printer sharing, Lotus Notes, the Internet, as well as Client Access Express, BOSâNOVA TCP/IP, Jadvantage, etc., without replacing the Twinax adapter cards in the PC. Data compression techniques and speed improvement results in an incredibly fast, segmented and reliable network. More...

  • Chart Comparing BOScom e-Twin@x Controller with Perle Controllers
    With the PerleTM controllers, all devices appear on the AS/400 via Anynet, which is known to be an unstable and slow protocol that requires additional configuration on the AS/400. BOScom's e-Twin@x Controller is the only device which offers 100% IP without SNA. This is the reason for its speed, stability and ease-of-use. More...
