[comp.protocols.ibm] IBM 370 channel extenders

SMITH@GECRDVM1.BITNET (Don Smith) (09/22/88)

If this is not the 'proper' server to address this to, please correct me.
I would like to know what CHANNEL EXTENDERS are being used out 'there'..
What are your experiences (good/bad) and any recommendations...
I will need to extend 4 or five channels (for telecomm. i.e. local 3274D/A,
3705,Series 1, 7171's BISYNC/SDLC,EP/NCP....) a distance of 1-2 miles across
an open field which I own...it is also line of sight....
What are the issues that I must consider (i.e. block and byte on the same
unit ??? I don't know anything about this subject ???
Thanks for your help...
