I am looking for a 3270 terminal controller that can use a tcp/ip ethernet as the local (controller to terminal) channel. I wish to use IBM PCs and perhaps Macs (FastPath is in place) for the "3270" terminals. Access to the VM host is Bisync. Since I may not be completely correct on my IBM terminology I'll restate my need another way. I would like to be able to access our VM system from a PC or Mac on our local network and look like a 3270. Tcp/ip on the VM is NOT a possibility (wish it were). A 9.6 bisync line is the only option I have. I have seen Tri-Data's Appletalk based controller, NET-1000 I think, but it requires TOPS' Appletalk drivers for the PC and TOPS does not (yet) support the WD8003E ethernet board, which we are using.
