     IBM makes such a contraption; it's called the Device Access Control
Unit, or DACU; one end connects to a block multiplexer channel, one end
connects to a UNIBUS cage, and it is controlled by an IBM PC.  The
IBM software package for IP/TCP on IBM mainframes supports this.  Contact
your IBM rep for details, or the VM Interface Program for TCP/IP Support
Group, 301-921-1931.  I have no direct information about how good either
the hardware or software products are.
