The closest thing I've ever seen is by: Interlink Computer Sciences, Inc. 39055 Hastings Street, Suite 203 Fremont, CA 94538 (415)792-6212 It is actually a network front-end of sorts: you get a PDP11 running DECnet/ RSX, and supporting software that runs on the 370. (There are rumors of a MicroVAX version of the FE.) It is attached directly to one of the 370's channels on one side, and to your DECnet on the other. I have no experience (we didn't buy one) but they have been selling them for several years and continue to develop the product. It is rather expensive, but probably worth it if you can use what it gives you. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mark H.
