-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a need to connect an IBM 4341 running CICS and DOS under VM to a
DEC VAX (uVAX II or 8200).  I know very little about the IBM world and would
like to ask the nice people out there if anyone knows of a product which can
connect these two systems.

I need basicly to perform task to task communication between the
applications running on the two machines.  I think an ethernet controller
which can be conntected directly to an IBM channel would be the most
desirable solution, but I am open to other ideas.


Further details:

  VAX
	Will be uVAX II or an 8200 running VMS 4.x.
	Terminal support will be provied by DECSERVER 100's connected
	to ethernet.

  IBM
	Is a 4341 running CICS and DOS under VM.
	Terminal support is provided by a Series/1 which does protocol
	conversion for async. terminals.  There is no 3705 or 3725
	comunication controllers in this system.

Please mail responses and I will post a summary to net.dcom if anyone asks.
Thanks in advance.
