The RT74B converter connects to the IBM as a 3274 controller and
is defined as a remote 3270 cluster.  The N rs232 lines out the back side
connect at VARIOUS baud rates for EACH connection! ( 1 < N < 32 connections,
with one used for a printer port).

The ascii terminal user is given the 3270 full screen emulation with
highliting, et al!  I also recall that the PFkey mapping is used defined.

Only negative asspect is the slowness of the BSC connection, and even at
9600, it still show through, ... but then that's faithfull emulation of
remote 3270 behavior, isn't it.
