SNA/X.25 Link/iX (referred to as SNA/X.25 Link), which works with the SNA services to provide an HP 3000-to-IBM host or AS/400 connection over an X.25 network.
SNA/Token Ring Link/iX (referred to as SNA/Token Ring Link), which works with the SNA services to provide an HP 3000-to-IBM host or AS/400 connection over a token ring network.
