Figure 1. Direct Connection Between DB2 Connect and a host or AS/400 database server

In this environment, if you are using Windows 32-bit operating systems you can use the DB2 Connect Personal Edition Integrated SNA Support to connect directly to the host or AS/400 servers. DB2 Connect Integrated SNA Support permits connections over a variety of local and wide area networks, such as Token-Ring, Ethernet, SDLC, Twinax, Coax and Asynchronous dial-up. The DB2 Connect Integrated SNA Support implements both APPC and MPTN connections over networks using hosts and AS/400 systems that have IBM AnyNet products installed. Users of OS/2 workstations can use IBM Personal Communications for OS/2, or IBM Communications Server for OS/2 to achieve direct APPC and MPTN connectivity.
