My employer recently installed a DEC Channel-attached SNA Gateway unit, and
3270TE software for VMS to operate in conjuction with it.  The Gateway-CT is a
new product, but an SDLC-attached version has been available for some time,
called Gateway-ST.  The VMS software for TE (and also JES2/RJE services) works
just fine here.  From your message, it sounds like you have something old, or
for a different kind of interface.

Note: I am not affiliated with the University of South Carolina (which does
provide the USENET gateway I utilize), or with Digital Equipment Corporation.
