Last updated

TCPaccess is a software product which implements the TCP/IP protocol suite on IBM mainframe computers using the MVS operating system. It was developed in 1986 by Advanced Computer Communications under the name ACCES/MVS, and was the first commercial TCP/IP implementation for MVS mainframes. [1] [2] It is usually associated with Interlink Computer Sciences, which developed and marketed the product from 1990 until 1999. [2] By 1994, Interlink had sold over 2,000 licenses of TCPaccess. [3]

The product was marketed by Cisco Systems as Cisco IOS for S/390 . [4] [5] It was offered by Computer Associates as Unicenter TCPaccess Communications Server.
