   Without getting too commercial, Motorola offers a system running UNIX 5.3
with an attached 3274 type controller named the model 8174. This will allow
any of the standard 3278, 3279, etc coax terminals to run multiple sessions
on our UNIX and 3270. The coax terminals are translated into looking like
vt220 terminals, under UNIX. If anyone would like more details send me email.
