    For a large french SIEMENS  customer site I'm looking for terminal
    Emulation from VT's to a BS2000 host.
    Competition seems to include mainly HP and SIEMENS itself.
    
    SIEMENS offers instead of old style 8171 controller/8755 terminal set,
    a new system: a MX/UNIX machine accepting Asynch terminals. This
    machine provides 8750 term. emulation and may be linked to the host
    via a comm's processor using BAM over serail lines or Ethernet (TCP-IP
    or ISO).                                               
    
    H.P. seems to have a similar offer: a HP-UX risc machine running
    a 8750 emulation software coming from Germany and linked apparently
    the same way to the SIEMENS host.
    
    could someone tell me more on any of those ?
    
    By the way, as we now have a basis to talk to a SIEMENS host over
    Ethernet (using VOTS) for file transfer (FTSIE), are some plans going
    on to develop terminal emulation over those same layers ?

    I only can answer the last question - no, there are no plans as
    of today to provide a terminal emulation based on OSI - but Integrata
    is working on one - but we only talk 9750-terminal emulation.

|     Yes, the product is market ready from INTEGRATA, they even sent
    me details and price information.
    Basic idea is to run bulk transfer (=FTSIE) and terminal (=MEPSIE)
    as an overlay to VOTS on ether.
    I ca provide details if required.
