Xwindow product users and providers,

I'm looking for product information (hardware and software) and
user recommendations for the following terminal/printer emulation
problem:

Need to provide IBM 3270 terminal emulation on up to 30 Xwindow
workstations networked via TCP/IP Ethernet to a fileserver.  Need
to appear to the remote IBM Comm Controller as a 3274 Cluster
Controller.  Support up to 32 LUs, mainly 3270 terminals, and a
couple of 3270 printers.  Workstation hardware selection not
complete, but may be Sun3s and SparcIIs.  Prefer to have the
SNA/SDLC line attached to the File Server with an intelligent
comm board providing the cluster controller emulation, but will
consider other configurations.

                                           Emula.   WS1   WS30

I'd be glad to prepare a summary of responses or a submission to the FAQ.

Thank You,
