HELP!  I'M LOOKING FOR INFO ....  RUSH! I WAS JUST GIVEN THE ASSIGNMENT
BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED YESTERDAY (TYPICAL) !

I have a design need where I must convert between EBCDIC to ASCII code
and visa versa.

The hardware I must interface to is an old IBM 360/50 hooked to an IBM
1052 console. I need to pick off the data stream from the interconnecting
cables and convert the data from IBM EBCDIC code to standard ASCII code
on a serial RS232  port.

Does anyone out there know if "such-a-animal" exists? 

It could be a hardware or software or combination solution, I'm open
for suggestions, before I have to design it from the beginning.

If you can be of any help call me at (614)860-4455 or send by electronic
mail to  ...!cbosgd!cbsck!tks

			Thanks!  Tom Snow - AT&TBL Columbus, Ohio
