I have a copy of RUMBA OFFICE 2.0 on my PC.  It includes Rumba for the
 
HP, which I have configured to use the NS/VT interface (included).  I am
 
running this software via Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and using the 32
 
bit TCP/IP stack available from Microsoft.  It seems to support block
 
mode with the exception of our SNA Link program from HP
 
(TTSSON.PUB.SYS).  I called Wall Data and asked them about that problem
 
and the fact that they didn't provide file upload/download capability
 
with Rumba for the HP.  The first problem was never resolved and their
 
response to the second one was that they won't provide special
 
upload/download capability for individual platforms (like the HP3000).
 
So, I have been using FTP to do my file transfers and RUMBA to do my
 
terminal emulation.  I also use a 700/92 terminal if I really need to do
 
a SNA Link session on the IBM mainframe.  I hope this helps.
