We are looking at some Ethernet, TCP/IP based options for providing
a terminal emulation and file transfer gateway to an existing IBM 3090
under MVS, (no VM).  We have an existing TCP/IP network with Apollos,
VMS VAXes, UNIX VAXes, Suns, C/V's, HP's, PC's, etc.

Does anyone know anything about the following Vendors/Products in
terms of Reliability, Support, Installations, History, etc ?

1. Mitek. They have a box (M2030) that connects Ethernet to the IBM
   and IBM software for TELNET and FTP. Headquarters in Texas.
   Local rep is Penny Neill (New York).

2. Advanced Computer Communications. They have the same thing as Mitek
   but the box is an ACS9315 and the software is called "Access MVS".
   They also have SMTP hooks.
   Headquarters in California. Local distributor is Bomara Associates
   (Bob Ravenstein) and the local ACC rep is Mike Kirby (Pa).

3. IBM has a TCP option for the IBM/MVS operating system but it is
   not available until 3Q89. Their box, the 8232, is available now.

Thanx,
