We have a client with a bunch of 3270 terminals, cluster
controllers, etc., who would like to add some kind of dialup
capability to reach async hosts (or TCP/IP, or X,25 if necessary.)
What's a good way to accomplish this?

Also, does anyone make a convenient interface from this block-mode
side of the world into DBMSs like Oracle or Informix?
General SQL queries would be interesting, but the basic application
is fill-in-the-blanks and some searching for predefined queries.

                        Thanks;  Bill
