Hummingbird Communications Ltd. announced the first release of Hummingbird e-Gateway, a portal-integrated, HTML, Web-to-Host connectivity solution. Hummingbird e-Gateway allows enterprise information from IBM Mainframe, AS/400, Linux and UNIX application screens to be published and viewed in custom, graphical screens to anyone using a Web browser or the Hummingbird EIP (Enterprise Information Portal).
