I recommend you take a real close look at the IBM 2074 control unit to replace your local non-SNA consoles. The 2074 is ESCON attached to the M/F and uses TCP/IP to talk to PCs running an IBM 3270 - emulator. The TCP/IP network can be your corporate Intranet or a private network with "long connections" reaching all the way to your remote location. When upgrading to our z800, we had to convert to the 2074 and we never looked back.
