I am pretty
sure that I will be bringing one of my IBM S/390 G1's
to VCF East next year with VM, MVS, and Linux running. If anyone
else brings machines capable of SNA, FDDI, Ethernet or ATM, you'll
be welcome to hook up to me.
I have an "Informer" terminal I could bring - it resembles a luggable
VT-220 with a keyboard than snaps on the front of the CRT for storage.
It has a 3274-equivalent inside and any terminal can act as a controller
for others of its kind, daisy-chained as slaves. I got it for $90
at the Hamvention back when I used to make SNA gear for a living.
Cool!
Did the SNA-for-Linux project die?
I know they're still working on SNA support for Linux/390, but that was an
IBM/Marist project, and not something for regular PC Linux.
