[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] TELNET Questions

We are getting ready to purchase an IBM 3172 ethernet controller for our IBM
3090 running VM/XA.  They are getting the right parts on that end (I assume). 
I have to assemble the right ends on the LAN side.

Currently I am using:
  NCSA Telnet 2.3beta15
  AT&T StarGROUP 3.4 LanManager
  FTP's NDIS Packet Driver (1.05 - 1.06 (I will get 1.07 later today from
                            jrd@usu)).

This is working like a charm to our VAXcluster and other boxes on campus. 
However the 3090 throws a wrench into the equation.  Will NCSA Telnet work with
the IBM mainframe.  (If the VM side is important, it is the IBM
implementation).  Will I need a TN3270?  If so will the Clarkson 2.2 work with
the NDIS drivers?  Do the NCSA people plan to release a TN3270?  If not does
Clarkson plan to put out a 2.3 with TN3270 and when?

I have lots more questions.  Thanks in advance.

Rob
