Most Unix boxes support some form of BSC protocol. Most often you'll see
two forms: 3270 (interactive terminal) and 2780/3780/2770 (batch device,
meaning it sends and receives files). You may run across HASP Multileaving
as well ... that's an advanced batch-mode protocol supporting bidirectional
file transfers to multiple devices. Batch devices means you are usually
sending 80-byte records (80 column punched cards) and receiving 132-byte
printer records or 80-byte punched cards.
BSC usually means EBCDIC character sets. ASCII may be supported.
For more specific information, please send me mail.
