The organization I work for currently runs a number of applications on 
Compaq 386/20's under DOS 3.31. It has become painfully obvious that
it is no longer practical to use DOS, primarily because of the 640K
memory limit. Since we also run other applications on UNIX based systems
like the RT and Suns, the decision was made to go to SCO XENIX on 
the PC's. I have been told that one of the major holdups in this 
process is mainframe connectivity - currently these systems get
all their data feed from an IBM mainframe using the IBM Token Ring and
3270 emulation/file transfer. Can anyone suggest a package that will run
under SCO XENIX and provide this sort of connectivity???  I just can't
belive that we are the only ones to have this problem.  
    Thanks!!
