This paper describes a scheme to connect full scale computers of different network architecture to a wideband local area network via a gateway process instead of a front end processor, and outlines the results of its application. This scheme has advantages that no reforming of the native operating system is necessary and that the system development is easy, fast and economical, though the system suffers slight performance reduction compared to a system of which network architecture is newly developed for an existing network. As a case study, a computer with different network architecture has been introduced to the LAN to examine its feasibility of the proposed scheme. For a full scale computer which can run different operating systems concurrently by simulating virtual machine systems, this gateway process scheme offers an efficient way to connect computer systems of different network architecture without badly degrading the man-machine interface response or the performance.
