In order for this to work you must have PU type 2.1 software on your
UNIX box that your VT user can bind to.  What this means is that your
UNIX terminal user must initiate an LU-SSCP session with the manager
of his domain (usually VTAM, in this hierarchical network) and then
request an LU-LU session to a cross-domain resource which is an LU in
another domain: the domain controlled by your UNIX PU type 2.1.

Currently, this is not implemented in any UNIX product I know of, but
someone may still have it or be working on it.  I believe DEC and
INTERLINK have done/are doing PU type 2.1 for VAX/VMS.  Maybe DEC will
make it availible on ultrix (dec's UNIX).

Unlikely, since LU6.2 is an peer-to-peer application protocol which is
designed for client-server type of transaction processing.  You need a
LU type 2 protocol, which is for terminals and such devices.

Hope this helps.
