The Interlink product SNS/Connect and SNS/Link, place no software on the VAX machines and perform all the DECnet functions (FAL, NFT, CTERM, MAIL-11, Allin1) by using DECnet objects emulated on VM or MVS. SNS/Connect can also route DECnet packets over an SNA network to remote IBM hosts or remote DECnet networks. 3270 terminal emulation is proided on the vax by using DEC's sna access routine - DECnet/SNA terminal emulation. You are correct, there are products that emulate DEC VT220 terminals on a 3278 terminal. Interlink does this by software on the host using a CTERM protocol stream to the vax. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Johnston Manager, International Marketing & Support pjj@interlink.com Interlink Computer Sciences sun!ntrlink!pjj 47370 Fremont Blvd Fremont, California 94538 voice: 415/657-9800 fax: 415/659-6381
