Abstract: The system and method of this invention gives an application running on an operating system the ability to communicate through the network protocols of a network architecture such as SNA. The network architecture is placed within the file structure of the operating system. The application accesses the network architecture through a device driver. The network architecture device driver is called through the operating system's calls as if it were a file contained within the file directory of the operating system. In this way, access to the network architecture supports the sequential I/O model of the operating system.
