What communication cards do you have on the 500? There's probably a way to
get Perle <www.perle.com> or BOS <www.bosweb.com> equipment into the
picture. If you can do SDLC, then you can use AnyNet to do IP over SNA.
Personal Communications (the full package) can communicate over this kind
of thing - CA Express cannot, AFAIK. I even found a version 4.? of PCOMM
for less than $20. I have a ver.5 that was around $150 - somewhere in
Texas, don't remember. And I'm sure Jerry Draper will chime in with Synapse
- good product, I've heard.
