You might try using Penn State's UREP package to connect your Unix box
to the nearest IBM site running RSCS. I've seen it work in other
situations (small Vax & 4.3 bsd to 4341-2 running VM). I like it. It
works well.

I think you can drop a note to postmaster@psuvax1.bitnet and he'll
send it to the right place, although don't quote me on it.

another note: I think you need a sync port as well. Check with PSU, though.
