IX/92 is available from Software Licensing Corp.  It is an HP terminal
emulator running on HP9000, Sun and SCO UNIX.  It includes file transfer and
scripting in addition to HP emulation, and supports NS/VT through an add-on
product called IX/CONNECT.  It supports, but does not require, X-windows.

I/O can be redirected, and several systems integrators are using IX/92 as
"middleware" to enable equipment that talks telnet/vt220 to talk to the
hp3000.  For example, bar-code readers and rf terminals.  Also, users of
other workstations such as SGI and IBM can use a supported platform such as
SCO UNIX running IX/92 as a gateway to reach the HP3000.

IX/92 is a long-established product, and shares a common ancestry with both
Minisoft 92 and Reflection for Windows.
