You can do it by ordering AIX/370 from IBM and running it as a guest
operating system under VM  :-)

You can also use TCP/IP, which is available now from IBM for both
the RS/6000 and 370-class systems (3090) running VM.

Compression code?  Why?

(I am not employed by IBM Corporation ... just a rooter).
