Digital Equipment Corporation has a set of products that addresses this. You
need the

DEC SNA Domain Gateway-CT

which is a IBM channel attached gateway that emulates a PU5 node. It provides
access to PLUs (ie cross domain resources / APPLIDs) that run on the VMS 
systems.

On the VMS systems you install the:

MEP VT for DEC SNA 3270 Application Services

product. This provides VT220 emulation for 3270 terminals and SNA attached PCs
emulating 3270s in the SNA network. All applications that function on a VT220 
will function through this emulator. Ie things such as ALL-IN-1, EDT, full
screen applications etc.

If you need additional information please call your local Digital sales office 
or send me a mail message.
