I recently interviewed with a company known as Mitek, Inc. based in
Carrellton, Texas. They produce a 'box' that connects all kinds of work
stations to just about anything else. They showed me how the could Telnet
into an IBM 4341 from their VAX, and into a AT&T 3B2. Quite impressive.
Apparently what they do is run software at each workstation that makes it
look like a 3270 to the box. The box has an Ethernet side towards the work
stations and looks like a 3274 to the IBM. It is QUITE capable of allowing
users to logon to a VAX, TSO on their IBM, and run graphics at a Textronics
station all at the same time.

By the way, I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to work for them, but I
was impressed by what they'd developed.
