- SNADS is "SNA Distribution Services" (I just read this in a sci-fi book :-)
- Here is how to contact Softswitch:
- SoftSwitch Inc.
- 640 Lee Road
- Wayne Pennsylvania 19087-5698
- 215-640-9600

- (btw, I think Sun might offer a gateway between TCP/IP and SNA, but their
- DECnet offering only just recently added mail support, who knows if they
- support SNADS yet.)
