I'm looking for anyone with experience using SCO's UniPATH SNA-3270 product. Especially, either with a large number (~32) concurrent host sessions, or with the programming interface. Please email any comments. I am considering using this product as a protocol converter between a network of ASCII terminals and a host. For politial reasons, it is necessary to keep the correspondence between the ASCII terminals and the host sessions in sync. Therefore I need all 32 sessions. Note that I am not referring to a network of ASCII _PCs_, but ASCII _terminals_ Therefore, none of the DOS-based LAN products are suitable although several claim to support up to 32 sessions (one claims 64). If they published programming interface specifications, maybe I could reconsider. But as of now, it appears that UniPATH is the only available choice. Thanks for your help.
