[comp.protocols.appletalk] Netway 3270 controller

rdp@pbseps.UUCP (Richard Perlman) (12/09/88)

-
We are looking for a 3270 controller that is accessable by LAN
from MS-DOS PCs and Macs.  Netway has a product for AppleTalk
that provides just such a service for ~$4k for 16 sessions.  
The current box only works on LocalTalk but supports ethernet
based PCs through a Kinetics FastPath or similar bridge.
(Direct ethernet support available "real soon now.")

The controller supports SNA and the PC/Mac software allows
multiple sessions (8 on the Mac, 6 on the PC) plus file transfer
and printer support.

Have any of you had experience with this product, or do you know
of a similar one that I should be looking at.
