     The RS/6000 offers SNA connectivity through a number of
     different vendor's offerings, Rabbit and SSI as well as
     some others.  (Hopefully an IBM-er can fill in...)

     The SSI offers EHHLLAPI, which is the same 3270 API used by
     the IBM PC 3270 Workstations....I am fairly sure that the
     Rabbit SNA code offers the same HLLAPI.  

     Whatever package, this HLLAPI is highly recommended, it is
     fairly easy to use.
