Subject:      Configuring NW4SAA / 3270 LAN Workstation -> 9370/VSE/VTAM

Greetings,

Our problem: We cannot quite seem to get our LAN to talk to our 9370
             host system.

We are attempting to connect our NetWare fileserver to our IBM 9370 via
token-ring using NetWare for SAA/Communication Services NLM on the fileserver
and NetWare 3270 LAN Workstation for DOS at the workstation. A Communication
Services profile has been created on the LAN side and a 3270 workstation
configuration file. (Details to follow.) On the 9370 VTAM definitions have
been created for our backbone LAN and for all LUs.

When everything is loaded/varied on Communication Services and VTAM
acknowledge one anothers existence,

CS:   "LINK TO TOKEN RING NODE 400000aa0777 ESTABLISHED"
VTAM: "IST590I CONNECTION ESTABLISHED FOR PU LAN01 ON LINE FMPLANL"

When 3270 Workstation for DOS is started on a workstation the connection
is reflected on the CSSTATUS display and the status of the LU changes from
DACTIVE to UACTIVE.  According to the 3270 status icons at the bottom of
the workstation screen the terminal is READY (4 inside a box), ONLINE SNA
(B underlined), and UNOWNED (? inside a box).  It is possible to vary the
LU off from the 9370 console and have this action reflected on the work-
station screen.

Try as we may, we do not seem to be able to cause the LU to become BOUND
to an application on the 9370 (to change the UNOWNED status of the
terminal).

The Details:

Novell NetWare 3.11
PS/2 Model 80, 8MB RAM IBM 16/4 Adapter A running at 16 Mb to the backbone
to which the 9370 is also attached.  Workstation connection is at 4 Mb over
a 16/4 Busmaster.  (Anybody know if Novell will support the Busmaster card
with Communication services in some future release?)
