As I explained to Al Canton earlier, Pyramid has it's own off-the-shelf 3270
package; but he apparently felt our list price of $11,500 was way too high.
(That includes the synchronous interface card.) Perhaps other folks can tell
me what they expect to pay for a 3270 IBM frontend processor for UNIX systems?
Pyramid's is a 56K, full duplex, all-the-bells-and-whistles package; perhaps
there is a significant number of people who just need something low-speed and
cheap? For example, DEC slips a low-speed synchronous port into the DMF-32.
