Ed, The machine is a z800. They want to encrypt things on a PC type machine and send it to the MAINFRAME. Decrypt it and process it and then save it on a file on the MAINFRAME in encrypted format. At least that is what I understand. The powers to be change their ideas from minute to minute and listen to no one with the knowledge(Which obviously is not me - maybe that means they'll at least listen)(being sarcastic sorry.)
They are hoping to be able to encrypt/decrypt with only software. That is why I am asking about the hardware requirement(no money for the MAINFRAME - we have traversed to the dark side and I don't know when we will be back.)
