[Is this the fun part?] I have the dubious honor of trying to design the hardware of my district here at AT&T IS in Orlando. The application is this: Due to the nature of the project we support, each of our developers (about 50) have an IBM 3279/S3G and an Async terminal on their desk. We have to communicate with UNIX systems in New Jersey and IBM MVS systems in Orlando. I want to try to use the new AT&T 6300 Micro (IBM-PC compatible) to replace both terminals. I think the savings is enough to make it worth- while. I know I can get to UNIX through the RS-232C port so that's no problem. Does anyone know of a IBM 3279 Terminal Emulator that will fit in the micro and handle graphics like SAS? We have 3274 controllers and would like to run the emulator through coax. The only one I have heard of is from Forte Data Systems and that thing is expensive (about $1400 each)! Has anyone had a good or bad experience with any of these emulators? Please mail your responses to me. Thanks in advance. Scotty -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Allen ATT-IS Orlando, Florida ..!abnjh!nova
