2174 Allow XIDs ending in 00000.

Admin prohibits both local and remote XIDs from ending in 00000, displaying:

Error: 3907

The last five digits of the Local Node ID are invalid. These digits, also called the Node Number, can be any five hexadecimal digits except 00000, which is reserved.

This patch allows for the last five digits to be "00000"

1579 Fix to interoperate with unreleased APPN Network Nodes (Patch 6)

In certain unreleased versions of APPN Network Node products, these products do not accept XID's which exceed 60 bytes in length. The default XID sent by SNA Server is now below 60 bytes in length.

Update Procedure:

On all Windows NT machines where SNA Server Admin is run:

- stop SNA Server Admin, if it is running.

- copy the attached module to the \SYSTEM directory

- re-run SNA Server Admin, open the configuration file, and re-save

the configuration to apply the change. - in order for SNA Server to pick up this change, all SNA Servers

(SnaServer service) using this configuration file will need to be stopped and restarted.
