Yes,

        Nina I do this for clients day in and day out with something that is
much more critical that what GM is most likely sending, we do E-911
Automatic Number/Location Information interfaces.   You say the data is
coming over a DSU/CSU connection in ASCII but not what is generating it, or
what the over the wire protocol is, if any, do you know ?

        Our interface is a basic PC using COM1: to interface to the ASCII
hardware, and APPC over Ethernet or Token Ring to talk with the AS/400. All
messages go in a Data Queue, as well as a Physical file.

        Let me know if you think it's a fit, or if you want more details.

        JMS...
