You might try using Penn State's UREP package to connect your Unix box to the nearest IBM site running RSCS. I've seen it work in other situations (small Vax & 4.3 bsd to 4341-2 running VM). I like it. It works well. I think you can drop a note to postmaster@psuvax1.bitnet and he'll send it to the right place, although don't quote me on it. another note: I think you need a sync port as well. Check with PSU, though. -- David Boyes ARPA: 556%OREGON1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU Systems Division BITNET: 556@OREGON1 University of Oregon Computing Center UUCP: dboyes@uoregon.UUCP
