stuff deleted about unix systems supporting as/400 connected 
5250 terminals.

Unfortunatley I can't tell you about a product that exists today
that will support a Pyramid system.

We have a similar product that supports Tandem systems and the
Guardian operating system.  This allows IBM devices of any LU type
access to application running on the Tandem system.  It is based
on our own implementation of Node Type 2.1 for Tandem systems.

The Tandem system simply needs to be connected to the SNA or APPN
network using NT2.1, and any device in that network, or
interconnected networks, has access to the Tandem.

We have looked at the possibility of porting this functionality
to Unix systems, and we believe that it is possible.

I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who might find
this sort of thing useful.  Please email me at the address below.
