We are trying to determine our options for making use of an existing
IBM SNA network for users to access an application on a VAX to eliminate
having to install another leased line network.  The network connects 100+
schools so it would be expensive to duplicate.

It would be nice if the existing 3270 terminals could be used, ideally but
necessarily emulating VT100 terminals.  An approach requiring separate
terminals would be fine since the department that would be accessing our
application is going to need another terminal, or PC emulating a VT100,
in most cases anyways

We are flexible as to how the vax is connected to the IBM mainframe or
directly to the SNA network

Any ideas?
