At a number of our sites we have a need to closely integrate PC's,
VAX/VMS, IBM (mainly MVS), and UNIX systems (mainly Apollo and SUNs).
We already have most systems (including PC's) connected to Ethernet
(thick and thin at this stage - any comments on costs compared to
twisted pair?).

The main requirements from the PC are:
	1. File sharing 
	2. Terminal emulation (both VT100 and 3270)
	3. E-mail between all above systems (any real experience with X.400?)

Some of the products we are considering are PCSA, PC-NFS and TOPS. If
you have experience or care to advise/comment on the usage of any of
the above mentioned products (or others) please e-mail to me. If
required, I will summarise for the net.

Thank you for your support,

regards,
