SNA Server uses the following socket numbers to support SNA Server clients
over TCP/IP (over Windows Sockets):

0x05C5 - Socket used to receive SNA application traffic (3270, APPC). This
        is the socket used to communicate to the SNA Server service.

0x05C6 - Socket used to support SNA Server client "sponsor sessions". This
        is the socket used to communicate to the Snabase service over
        which the client workstation receives a list of other SNA Servers
        running in the domain.

The SNA Server client socket number is allocated dynamically through the
Windows Sockets interface.

In addition to TCP/IP protocol over Windows Sockets, Microsoft SNA Server
version 2.1 clients use the following to communicate with the server:

- Named pipes (over any local area network [LAN] transport supported by the
  Microsoft network redirector included with Windows for Workgroups, Windows
  NT, or LAN Manager)

- NetWare IPX/SPX

- Banyan IP (over Banyan Vines)

- AppleTalk
