I have a friend whose company has a Burroughs 3955
mainframe (with SDLN, whatever that is; I thought he
meant SDLC, but he said no) with MT983 emulation.
(Hope I'm not messing up this terminology - I am
getting it from someone who isn't that knowledgeable).

He is one-half mile from the central site, has
a leased digital line, and wants to use his
local IBM PC/AT to communicate with the
Burroughs mainframe.  I know nothing about Burroughs
mainframes and need some advice that I can pass along to him.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
