Currently i have a project that needs an UNIX system hooked up to a TANDEM Non-stop (GUARDIAN) system with something like a terminal emulator. TANDEM claims there is no solution for this and wants us to use a PC. As the project needs 5 modems to be hooked up to the UNIX system, this is not a very elegant solution. Is there anybody out there who has dealt with anything that resembles our situation? Any tips, tricks, hints.... Thanks a lot..

Any tips, tricks, hints.... |> 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).
