Greetings:

I would like to apologize in advance, if this is the wrong place to
post this mesage.

We just try to connect the Sun SPARCstations and IBM PCs to the 
IBM 3090 machine (50 miles away) through TCP/IP interconnections.
We can telnet/ftp to this IBM machine, however, some packages on
the machine required the 3090 console mode.

We try to figure out the ways for tailoring our workstations and PCs
to simulate the 3090 consoles, but fail. So we think, maybe someone
out there have the similar experience and would be kind enough to 
drop us the notes.

I recalled that some Supercomputer centers in USA did install the
IBM 3090 models (such as Cornell National Supercomputer Facility).
So I suppose maybe someone in these units did connect the Sun
workstations and IBM PC to their 3090 machines.

Any directions will be appreciated, please forward your notes to me
directly.

Thanks,
