137.0. "MS-Windows emulators" by BIS1::BICCLER () Mon May 25 1992 14:26

For a project Digital Belgium is working out for the moment, 
we need a solution for the following problem:

The customer has a BS2000 running mainframe, and is 
intending to install a LAN running TCP/IP connected to it.

The solutions Digital is selling consists of MS-Windows PC's 
connected on a LAN to a SCO-UNIX server. The server could 
run TCP/IP or OSI. Also the Netbios layer is used in this 
environment.

We now have a need to let those MS-Windows PC's do 9750 
emulation sessions with the BS2000. There is also a need for 
program to program communication between the MS-Windows PC 
and an application on the BS2000. If such program-to-program 
communication is not possible, using an emulator on the PC 
which has an programming-interface which you could instruct 
to capture a screen and pass it on would also do.

The customer prefers that the MS-Windows PC's are connected 
to the TCP/IP lan installed on the BS2000. But we think that 
solutions based on a gateway-PC (LAN <> MSV, BAM or X25) 
could also do.

Who has a suggestion for a solution which solves the program
to program communication besides the terminalemulationsessions?

137.1Try CCOM in Karlsruhe...MUDIS3::RBOEDEKERTue May 26 1992 18:2511
    
    Contact Fa. CCOM in Karlsruhe, Germany (Phone: x721-61942)
    
    CCOM can offer a solution on SCO-UNIX. I'm not sure if they have
    a MS-Windows emulator right now.  
    
    If your customer is running TCP/IP there is no reason for a MSV-BOX.
