    You mean IND$FILE transfer?  

    What didn't you like about it?  

    There are other vendors that offer 3270 for the Sun, notably 
    Brixton (dunno who wrote Sunlink...)

    IBM's TCP/IP FTP works pretty good....

    You'll need an LU 6.2 Transaction Program in addition to LU 6.2
    itself for that.  IBM has some....so does Spectrum Concepts (or
    whatever their name is this week).  The Spectrum Concepts XCOM
    6.2 is allegedly one of the faster ones....but you'll need a
    copy on both the mainframe and your Suns to use it...and LU 6.2.
