========================================================================
 We have a IBM 4361-4 and we are interesting to attach ascii terminals
 on it ??? The problem is that as far as i know  we can}t attach
 an ibm 7171 protocol converter. Is that true ??
 Any other idea ????
 Also we a have an ethernet with a couple of VAXes on it and from the other
 side we have one IBM 4361-3 and one IBM 4361-4 running VM, we are willing
 to connect the IBMs on the ethernet.
 The two alternatives we are thinking of are :
       1) SNA/DECNET gateway..
       2) IBM 7071?? and Flex link or TCP/IP SW
  Any comments or recommendations on the above solutions are welcome.
 Does any of the above solutions give us full screen support from
 both sides ( IBM and VAX ).

 Thank you in advance for any responce.
