A friend of mine is trying to get a couple of large IBMs talking to a few
large and small DEC machines (uVAXes and 8550s) over an Ethernet.  He
is looking for information about hardware and software combinations that do
the following:

1) 3270 emulation from any terminal on the DEC side,
2) VT100/200 emulation from any terminal on the IBM side,
3) and file transfer and remote logins initiated from either side.

He has looked into the DEC SNA Gateway product and would also like opinions
on how it works.  He did mention that DEC told him that their product would
not allow users on the IBM to initiate any logins or file transfers from
the IBM side, which is different from what I've been told by our DEC rep.

He would also like to find out anything on training that would get him up and
running quickly on VMS.  He is an experienced IBMer but has had limited
experience with VMS so he is looking into publications or courses that
you kind folks could recommend.

Respond to the net, mail responses to me for forwarding, or send info directly
to him.  I'm flexible.  His name, address, and phone number is:

Gary Hopp
Mead Paper Co.
PO BOX 757
Escanaba, MI  49829
(906)-786-1660

Thanks.
