- Digital Equipment Corporation has a set of products that addresses this. You
- need the
-
- DEC SNA Domain Gateway-CT
-
- which is a IBM channel attached gateway that emulates a PU5 node. It provides
- access to PLUs (ie cross domain resources / APPLIDs) that run on the VMS
- systems.
-
- On the VMS systems you install the:
-
- MEP VT for DEC SNA 3270 Application Services
-
- product. This provides VT220 emulation for 3270 terminals and SNA attached PCs
- emulating 3270s in the SNA network. All applications that function on a VT220
- will function through this emulator. Ie things such as ALL-IN-1, EDT, full
- screen applications etc.
-
- If you need additional information please call your local Digital sales office
- or send me a mail message.
