There are a number of products out there that can connect to IBM 370-series
channels and something else (ethernet, pronet, token ring)...  And there
are a few TCP/IP packages out there.

With whatever solution you pick, be sure that when full IP socket support
is in MVS, the hardware you've selected will work.  Get guarantees from
the vendor in writing.  You should probably avoid anything that does
IP or (worse) TCP processing onboard.

Someday, you'll want to do more than terminal emulation and file transfer.
