A customer of mine has an IBM mainframe running VSE with no front end controller... Any easy way to connect this to a 486 Unix Box for file transfer / terminal sessions... There are currently using PC IRMA to link PC's in...... Thanx, Larry

Sure. They're presently using a 3270 terminal emulator suitable for DOS. Have them get a 486 box with UNIX that supports 3270 applications. IMHO, they should try to buy their hardware, software, and emulator all from the same supplier so as to get real support. -- Dave Buck {aeras,amdahl,ames,daver,netcom,sun,zygot}!dlb!dave D. L.
