3270 emulation for Xenix wanted.

[Dominic Dunlop]

I've been searching -- so far without success -- for an IBM 327x terminal
emulator for Xenix that supports a co-ax connection.  Everything I've seen
so far -- Cleo, Rabbit, UniPath and others -- supports a modem-style
connection only on Xenix, even where the same company's PC-DOS offerings
include harware support for co-ax.  In my current application I need co-ax
for speed: I've megabytes of data to transfer on a regular basis.
Emulation of a single terminal would be adequate: I don't need a cluster-
controller emulation, although I'd use one if it could do the job.
I'm targetting 80286-based PC-AT clones.  If my arm were severely twisted,
I might be happy with a solution which applied only to 80386-based AT-bus
systems.

Can you help?  I'd also be interested in comments about file transfer
facilities included in any package you know about.  Also, if a suitable
package is not available, does anybody have experience of solving this
problem in a circuitous manner -- for example, by connecting the PC to an
Ethernet which is in turn connected to a high-speed SNA gateway?  How
difficult is this?  How much is it likely to cost?

Please post replies, as it's my feeling that quite a few netlanders will be
interested in the information.  However, if you feel reticent, mail me, and
I'll post a summary of anything interesting.
