Has anyone used the 3278/79 Emulation Card to login to an IBM mainframe,
and transfer files to an RT from an application program?

I would appreciate any help in this area.

Thanks,
 	Aaron Remer

Does the question assumes use of 4.3?  There are several AIX based packages
that support this, depending on the protocol to be used between the RT and
the 3174 (or whatever is on the 370 side).  These are listed in the RT
catalog; I'd list some of them here, but I'm typing this at home without
access to the catalog.  (To answer the precise question above, I used to
use the em78 package for this purpose, but now I use telnet/ftp across a
token ring/8232 connection instead.)

Disclaimer:	I work at Rabbit, I'm biased.

Rabbit's NETWORK 3270-PLUS (BSC) uses the 3278/79 Emulation Card
in a DFT connection to a non-SNA Control Unit.  File transfer is
via IND$FILE.  A C-language API ("PIM" Programmer Interface Module)
lets you exchange screens with host applications.

The IBM product number is 5601-045, the Programming Announcement
is 286-403, September 18, 1986.  Contact your local IBM rep for
information.
