You're thinking of the COMTEN front-end processor.  That WAS a stripped
down Model 50.  It did everything a 3705 could do and a lot more, since
it was being sold by a competitive company that knew how to write software
(as opposed to IBM).  I can't help it, my bias is showing -- I only worked
with IBM software for 6 years...
