  I responded to a similar question a while back in response to a
question about a similar sort of link between pdp-11s and an IBM
mainframe.  I'll repeat....

  We have what's called a ComBoard from Software Results Corporation
connecting our VAX-11/780 running BSD 4.1 to one of our IBM
mainframes.  We also have 4 PDP-11/70s running RSTS that each have
their own Comboard to talk to the same machine.  They all talk HASP.
It's likely that they have software to hook up to BSD 2.9.

  Full address:

  Software Results Corporation

  WATS 800-SRC-DATA

  I didn't install the board, but have been told by the person who
did that the installation was relatively painless.

  The mainframe that it's talking to is (for now--it will soon be
upgraded) a 4341 running MVS/TSO.  I would guess that the change
from 4.1 to 4.2 shouldn't be too awful.  SRC may have already made
the port.
