I'm hunting for folk who connect IBM machines to the Ethernet.  I have
some information about Spartacus, which I summarize below for anyone
interested.  I have heard of a company called OsCom (?spelling?) which
ostensibly produces an Ethernet connect of some kind.

Does anyone have information about OsCom, at least its real name?  Do
any of you know of other companies connecting IBM mainframes to
Ethernet?

Spartacus information:
    Spartacus Computers Inc.
    Bedford, MA 
    (800) LAN-KNET

    Spartacus provides an Ethernet channel connect box which
    connects to standard Ethernet transceivers.  It also provides
    a TCP/IP package called KNET, and uses TCP/IP to connect PCs
    (3Com controller) as 3278 terminals.

    Spartacus is selling into the Scientific/Engineering market;
    KNET is currently offered only under CMS.  An MVS version is
    planned for mid 1985, and the XNS protocol family will be provided
    sometime after the MVS version is available.
