Our application requires file tranfers between Unix LANs and IBM
mainframes.  We use the mainframe I/O channel connected directly to a
card or box.  (Our older installations use a box and the newer ones use
a card.)  The boxes and cards are KMW/Auscom.  They make versions of
the card to plug into different kinds of computers on the LAN, and all
of them connect to the mainframe I/O channel.  For example, one version
plugs into a VME Bus, which we have in some of our Unix computers, and
another plugs into a PC/AT bus.  The box version connects the I/O
channel directly to Ethernet, but is no longer supported.  (It contains
an LSI-11 inside the box.)

Does anyone reading this know if there is a better solution to this?  I
want to find alternatives to KMW/Auscom, just so we can compare
products and see if we are getting the most cost effective.  We want to
keep using the direct connection to the mainframe I/O channel, because
we don't want to change the mainframe software, but we are willing to
change the Unix and/or PC software.
