Macintosh-to-NEC 370 VS Connectivity



I want to connect a Macintosh to a NEC 370 VS computer. The data stream is in
EBCDIC.

- Does the NEC require a proprietary communication package?

- Will a terminal emulator work?

The NEC 370 VS is based on a proprietary system that NEC describes as having
four IBM emulation options: 3470, 3780, 3278 SNA, and 3270 BSC. Contact NEC's
Information System Division for more specific information.

Possible Macintosh solutions include MacDFT with the Serial NB Card, or
MacNetway from Tri-Data.

For more information, search under: "NEC" and "Tri-Data"
