A-Net application access software
A-Net is a software product that gives any 3270 terminal in a network full-screen access to non-SNA
networks, computer systems, essential applications and to the Internet.Since its introduction in 1984,
A-Net has become the most widely accepted product of its kind with over 500 installations in Fortune
1000 corporations, universities and government agencies around the world.A-Net allows organizations to
maintain their investment in mainframes and their SNA network while they integrate Unix machines into
their networking environments.

Some organizations buy A-Net as a tactical solution so they can gradually replace their mainframes,
while others see A-Net as a long-term solution that will allow their mainframes to grow with their
business. In both scenarios, worker productivity continues without the costly process of replacing
terminals or the SNA network.
