I have not seen the original posting, so if my $.02 is irrelevant
please accept my apologies.

IBM has a box called the 8232 whisch does that. 
They also have TCP/IP software called ?? FAL ?? for both the MVS
and VM operating systems to go along with that box.
There is also a company called Advanced Computer Communications, (ACC)
720 Santa Barbara Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. tel (805) 334-9431
Which has TCP/IP software for MVS and I think they also have the
hardware to connect the 370 to ethernet.
Anyways I suggest you contact the following people for more info:
Joe Ragland <tucjrr@tucc.bitnet> tel (919) 549-0671
James Kitchen <ukitch@unc.bitnet>  tel (919) 962-1622
