Looking for an Interface...

Hello all,

Our faculty has requested a "PC like" interface between their computers
and our mainframe computer.  For example, when they dial into our
VM system using Kermit (or other software) they have to dial in; press
a sequence of keys (pressing ENTER then . then ENTER again); select
the appropriate terminal type; and then log on to the CMS system.

Once our users are logged onto CMS, they would like to access
applications, send e-mail, execute programs, etc. via an interface
which, once again, is more "menu or function key" oriented.

Do you know of or have an interface on your system which might fill this
request?

Pace is also getting into the UNIX world via a RS6000 running AIX.
Again are you aware of an interface between the user (whether dialing
in or attached directly) that would spare them from having to
deal directly with UNIX?

Thanks for any help or direction you can give me.
Barbara Cunningham
