Hi,

I have a very specific problem - how to connect a SCO Xenix system
( about level 2.3 ) to an IBM System 38 machine. Yep , the wierd ones
that DON'T do SNA or all that good stuff. I *think* the protocol they
use is 5250 (?) or 5052. All we need is file transfer. At the moment
this involves booting the 386 in DOS , using a program/board supplied
by IBM that talks to System 38's . I guess we need the driver for the
board under Xenix. Anyone any idea's ?? I've tried most of the usual
suppliers and drawn a blank. Any advice most gratefully received.

thanks
