I'm not familiar with the details of your particular project, but I want to make sure that
you are aware of these Tandem integration products for GUARDIAN and UNIX.   I am
using most of them on a daily basis for software development here at Tandem (I am
using a MIPS Magnum 3000 workstation and also Sun SPARCstation).   All of these
products work with Ethernet and run on the UNIX workstation.

X6530	An Motif-based Tandem 6530 terminal emulator.   You invoke it by typing
	x6530 <Tandem-host> and it establishes a session with the GUARDIAN host.
	
telnet	The standard UNIX line-oriented telnet program.  Can telnet to a 
	GUARDIAN host from your workstation

ftp	The standard UNIX file copy utility.  Can copy files to/from GUARDIAN host.

NFS	The NFS server runs on GUARDIAN.  The workstation can remote mount
	GUARDIAN disks and access the files directly.  Currently supports Sun only.

TCP/IP	We have a TCP/IP implementation on GUARDIAN so you can write 
	applications which use a workstation client and the fault tolerant GUARDIAN
	system as the server.   The other products above are based on TCP/IP.

These products all work on Ethernet: I am not sure whether they support modems.   You
should probably follow up with your Tandem analyst on this, as she/he may have already
considered these for your particular application (I am a developer here, not a customer
analyst).
