There is a company called "Mitek" which sells a box to provide an ethernet
attachment for a 370.  They have two versions:
a "cheap" one which attaches to your 3705 (or somewhere downline of it, I
can't remember), and an EXPENSIVE one which is a direct channel attach.
AT&T pointed us at Mitek.  They also have a creative capability which
interested us: they can let you use a 370's 3270-type terminal as a
VT100.

Let me know what else you find.  We were going to use them because we
wanted to take 3270's which we have all over the place, and provide a
limited UNIX access.  We have since abandoned this approach.  Now, we
are looking again, because we need FAST data transfer between UNIX
and MVS.
