    I don't know about the "135U & Sinec", but Vax Simatic 3964 does talk
    to Siemens S5 machines (I support it).
    Contact Stephen Binger on:  EICMFG::BINGER

131.2L2 = ProfibusMUNDIS::KPLUSZYNSKIKlaus Pluszynski, ACT-Mfg.Ind.Tue Apr 14 1992 10:578
    SINEC L2 is the Siemens trade name for Profibus, a German field bus
    standard.
    
    As far as I know we do not support Profibus directly. Typically 
    a SIMATIC S5 serves as a master PLC on the Profibus and connects to
    the host through either 3964R or SINEC-H1 / SINEC-AP.
