We're using a McData cluster controller here with PC's connected using
3270 cards and software.  The McData controllers allow us to connect to
Asynchronous ASCII hosts which are Unix boxes in our case.  We would
like to be able to exchange files between the PC's and the Unix systems,
but the only file transfer software we hav to use on the PC side is the
stuff that works with IND$FILE on the mainframe.  Remember that the
transfer is through the Attachmate (IRMA type) card.

An ideal solution would be a redirector that would make the coax card
look like a serial port, but I don't think anybody out there will be
able to help me there.  Therefore, what I am looking for are the
specifications for IND$FILE so I can write an equivalent for the Unix
system.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
