- If you are willing to put a TCP/IP front end processor on your mainframe
- you can get a whole suite of UNIX like features on your Big Blue box.
- Your IBM sales rep would be glad to tell you more about it.
-
- Another way you could do it is to plug a board into a Sun and have it
- pretend to be an SNA connected printer. Software on the Sun will then
- route the print jobs to the UNIX printer of your choice. This is a
- package in the SunLink product line and your Sun sales rep would be
- overjoyed to sell you one.
-
- Hope this helps,
