Every major computer vendor has an interface to Big Iron, because
you can't avoid dealing with IBM.  Minimal support is 3270 coax
support and some kind of RJE; SNA and LU6.2 are not uncommon.
If you want more interesting support, some vendors support
channel-attached connections, but you can also get tcp/ip for your
mainframe.  A lot of mail systems support interfaces from X.400 or
other UNIX mail to PROFS and DISOSS mail, and there are a number of
3270-emulation and DBMS interfaces around.
