If I had an existing application running on an IBM mainframe which was accessed
by 3270 terminals, how could I go about integrating that into a new application
running on some SUN workstations on a LAN?  I don't need anything fancy,
so I considered just bringing up a 3270 emulation window and talking to
the application that way.  The question is then, is there software for a
SUN, and software for an IBM controller (or perhaps an add-on box from
someplace like ACC) that would allow me to attach my IBM mainframe to the
LAN, then connect to it from a 3270 emulation process in the SUN over TCP/IP
or just IP?

thanks for the help, answers to me directly or the world,
