- We are in the position of having to dial-up an IBM mainframe to pick up
- some EDI documents. We'd like to use an intel x86 box. I know of a board
- from Cleo Communications which will give us bisync and will work with
- various DOS software communication packages.
-
- My question is this: does anyone know of any 386, UNIX-based or UNIX-like
- OS's which support bisync communication? Specifically maybe BSD/386 from
- BSD Inc.
-
- Also, how does Telebit's T2500 do SNA and bisync when there is only an
- RS232 port? Hmm?
-
- All info appreciated. Thanks
