CoaxAccess-PC
The CoaxAccess-PC Raceway provided NeXTStep computers with easy access to IBM mainframes in traditional SNA networks. The CoaxAcccss-PC solution conforms to the Open Systems architecture and supported industry standard 3270 Coax adapter cards from manufacturers such as IBM, Anachmate and DCA.
CoaxAccess-PC employs a client/server architecture and allowed multiple NeXTStep computers, as well as any other TN3270 clients on the network, to share a CoaxAccess-PC gateway when accessing their IBM mainframe. A "pool" of IBM mainframe sessions was available to any network attached client on a first-come, first-served basis,
The CoaxAcccss-PC gateway conformed to the IBM Distributed Function Terminal (DFT) protocol and provided a pool of five IBM mainframe sessions for each 3270 Coax adapter card installed. Each CoaxAccess-PC gateway supported up to four 3270 Coax adapters for a total of 20 pooled sessions offering a single point for network administration, management and control. An unlimited number of servers could be configured on the same network.
