I want to connect a 3270-type terminal to a UNIX computer running an
application that is usually accessed via a VT100-type terminal.  In fact, 
I need to do this for up to 150 simultaneous sessions.

At the moment I'm achieving this by running some software on an MVS 
mainframe which does SNA to TCP/IP conversion.  So an SNA user logs
on to the mainframe, selects the TCP application, and then telnets to
the UNIX host.

In effect, I'm using an expensive mainframe as a protocol convertor.  There
must be a better, cheaper way.  What's the best way of giving an SNA user
access to a UNIX application?  Is it possible to do this without using the
mainframe at all?
