In this category, which includes a number of software-based SNA connectivity
gateways as well as remote access servers, the Best of the Tests Award
goes to Microsoft's SNA Server 4.0. This product - the name of which Microsoft
changed to Host Integration Server 2000 when the company introduced Windows
2000 as the underlying operating system - scored a 9.05 when tested against
similar products from Attachmate, IBM and Novell. SNA Server 4.0 garnered
such a high score because of its distinctive application integration and
LAN-to-host features, according to Todd Coopee, an independent reviewer.
