We have an application for which we need to connect our APOLLOs
(DSP80s) to an IBM host over leased telephone lines at 4800 baud.
Unfortunately, the IBM host still uses Bisynch (BSC), so APOLLO's
SNA products won't help.
We'd like to find some software and a MULTIBUS card that will
handle the polling and the low-level communications (and maybe
the Block Control Character computation), but leave command
processing and packet assembly and disassembly to us. If anyone
has or knows of any software--not necessarily free--that we could
use or cannibalize, I'd appreciate hearing about it. If not, but
someone can recommend a MULTIBUS comms controler board, even that
would be a help. Much thanks, in anticipation.
