(My apologies if this appears twice, it didn't appear to work the 1st time)

We are trying to figure out how to connect our Unix machines to some
Unisys A-series boxes.  The unix machines are some 386s running V.3.1
and some (soon to be delivered) Sequent Symmetry/2000 machines, all 
running the Berkeley and Arpanet suites of applications over tcp/ip
on thin ethernet.  The A-series machines are talking BNA over 802.3.

Unisys wants to sell us $80K worth of front end communication processor
and ftp software to put on the A-series boxes.

Our question is:  Is there some third party software out there that will
put a BNA stack (whatever BNA is!) next to the ip stack on one of our
unix machines?  We need to be able to log into the A-series, and perform
file transfer operations from the unix network.

I've heard a company with initials 'ICC' does Unisys networking.  Are
they on the net?  Somebody have a phone number?

Thanks in advance,

Dan
