We had some problems with the channel-attached version of the Sunlink
3270.  We were using an AS9000, which is alleged to be IBM-compatible.
Apparently there are slight differences in the channels, and Sun's
channel attachment uses features in a slightly unusual way.  So if
you are considering this product, and you aren't using a box actually
made by IBM, make sure that your arrangement with Sun allows for
the possibility that there might be problems.  From what we could
tell, the product seemed reasonable, but I'm not doing the evaluation,
so I'm not the best person to speak on that.  We are also evaluating
a box from Mitek (?).  It has similar features, and is also available
either channel-attached or for synchronous lines.  However it is
a self-contained box, not a board that goes in your Sun.
