A friend of mine recent bought an IBM 3705 Communications Controller, with 15
3278 terminals, for NZ$50 (about US$25).

The 3750 is a huge (1.7m*1m*1m) black & blue box, crammed full of... stuff.
Various date stamps say it was made in 1980, but the design looks older than
that.

Anyway: Can anyone tell us anything about either the 3750 or the 3278? He's got
fifteen of these things... Apparently the 3750 multiplexes the terminal i/o and
sends it down a leased line to the computer. In this instance, the 3750 was in
the Auckland brance of Prudential Insurance, and the computer was somewhere in
Australia.

It's a testament to it's age that it was actually cost effective to do this :-)

Any info would be much appreciated.
