We have had a little trouble with SNA services.  (We have found it
capable of crashing the machine.) We installed a 3270 package from TPS
which uses SNA services.  We had trouble with SNA services rejecting
the BIND from VTAM.  (I know you're not an SNA expert, but bear with me...)

When we called TPS, they said that smit does not configure all of the
parameters needed by SNA services.  We had to fiddle a few files by
hand. (Sorry, I didn't fiddle them, so I can't provide specifics.)

My suggestion is that you point out to your IBM rep that smit has this
problem, and see if they can find their APAR.

Look closely at the return address.  It is nanovx and NOT nanovAx.
