- Thank you in advance for any help. Now onto the question ---
-
- We are looking for an economical way to exchange data between a DEC
- VAX 4000 and an IBM AS/400. The connectivity solutions we have seen
- are all very expensive, complex, and large. We want something like a
- standard serial line (RS-232) connection between the 2 machines. Then
- all we would need is simple software to write back and forth across the
- link. We don't need terminal emulation, remote batch submission, file
- transfer, or any other 'high level' functions. All we need is simple
- record level send/receive functionality. We would not mind writing
- this software or if something simple and inexpensive was available, we
- would not mind purchasing software. Our purchase budget on this is a
- few thousand dollars maximum. We have never made this kind of connection
- and we are looking for any help or advice on solving this problem.
-
- Thank you, Ben, Paul, & Kurt
