A basic 3770 emulation package for Windows PC is likely to cost between US $1,000 and US $5000 including both emulation software and hardware (a sync adapter and/or synchronous capable modem. With some companies technical support may cost extra. Often the purchasers of 3770 emulation suffer from “sticker shock” when prices in this range are first mentioned. However, when you understand that your organization will never be called upon to install 3770 emulation on everyone’s desktop, and that specialized knowledge is required to produce, maintain, and support a product that is not sold in huge quantities, the higher price is easier to justify and to accept.
