Xwindow product users and providers, I'm looking for product information (hardware and software) and user recommendations for the following terminal/printer emulation problem: Need to provide IBM 3270 terminal emulation on up to 30 Xwindow workstations networked via TCP/IP Ethernet to a fileserver. Need to appear to the remote IBM Comm Controller as a 3274 Cluster Controller. Support up to 32 LUs, mainly 3270 terminals, and a couple of 3270 printers. Workstation hardware selection not complete, but may be Sun3s and SparcIIs. Prefer to have the SNA/SDLC line attached to the File Server with an intelligent comm board providing the cluster controller emulation, but will consider other configurations. |IBM |___|37x5|___|Sync |____ |Sync |___|File | |HOST| |Comm| |Modem| /__|Modem| |Server|-----Enet---- |Cntr| SNA 3274 | . . | Emula.
