We are looking for _high speed_ connections to an IBM, big iron, type main frame, via TCP/IP / EtherNet, from a SUN or like processor. The data we need to transfer must move faster than the 56Kb rate available to the majority of "line" type connections we have found. Either vanilla ethernet or token-ring seem to be the fastest connections viable for the big blue beast. What we are seeking help on is software TCP/IP access from the big blue iron and hardware alternatives. We have only confirmed IBM (gag) token ring availability on the blue end. We would like to consider ethernet alternatives for blue also. If any one has leads, connections, or products in this area, e-mail replys would really be appreciated. //Andy Liwen ______________________________________________________________________________ uucp : ..uunet!ocsmd!andy bitnet : andy%ocsmd@uunet.uu.net snail : Online Computer Systems internet : andy@ocsmd.uu.net 20251 Century Blvd.

Check out ACC, Advintech, Fibronics, and Network Solutions for TCP/IP for IBM mainframes running the MVS and MVS/XA operating systems. For VM, your best bet is probably the IBM TCP/IP for VM package. They all should be listed in the SRI-NIC vendors guide.
