We are trying to figure out how to connect our Unix machines to some Unisys A-series boxes. The unix machines are some 386s running V.3.1 and some (soon to be delivered) Sequent Symmetry/2000 machines, all running the Berkeley and Arpanet suites of applications over tcp/ip on ethernet. The A-series machines are talking BNA over 802.3. Unisys wants to sell us $80K worth of front end communication processor and ftp software to put on the A-series boxes. Our question is: Is there some third party software out there that will put a BNA stack (whatever BNA is!) next to the ip stack on one of our unix machines? We need to be able to log into the A-series, and perform file transfer operations from the unix network. I've heard a company with initials 'ICC' does Unisys networking. Are they on the net?

(My apologies if this appears twice, it didn't appear to work the 1st time) We are trying to figure out how to connect our Unix machines to some Unisys A-series boxes. The unix machines are some 386s running V.3.1 and some (soon to be delivered) Sequent Symmetry/2000 machines, all running the Berkeley and Arpanet suites of applications over tcp/ip on thin ethernet. The A-series machines are talking BNA over 802.3. Unisys wants to sell us $80K worth of front end communication processor and ftp software to put on the A-series boxes. Our question is: Is there some third party software out there that will put a BNA stack (whatever BNA is!) next to the ip stack on one of our unix machines? We need to be able to log into the A-series, and perform file transfer operations from the unix network. I've heard a company with initials 'ICC' does Unisys networking. Are they on the net? Somebody have a phone number? Thanks in advance, Dan -- Daniel A. Graifer Coastal Capital Funding Corp.
