Intelink has the largest installed base of IBM to DECnet gateways. The
Interlink product SNS/Connect and SNS/Link, place no software on the
VAX machines and perform all the DECnet functions (FAL, NFT, CTERM,
MAIL-11, Allin1) by using DECnet objects emulated on VM or MVS.
SNS/Connect can also route DECnet packets over an SNA network to remote
IBM hosts or remote DECnet networks.
3270 terminal emulation is proided on the vax by using DEC's sna access
routine - DECnet/SNA terminal emulation.
You are correct, there are products that emulate DEC VT220 terminals on
a 3278 terminal. Interlink does this by software on the host using a
CTERM protocol stream to the vax.
