Re: 3270 emulation and TCP/IP and Terminals -- MIDRANGE-L

Adam,

Dumb terminals can run commands too can't they?  Can you type in SIGNOFF at
a dumb terminal?  Can you type in WRKSPLF at a dumb terminal?  Of course,
(leaving security out of it for now).  The dumb terminals can also type in
the command TELNET.

I'm not really sure how that helps.  The problem is I still have terminals
that are connected to the AS/400 via twinax.  I need to know what I need to
setup so that they can passthru the AS/400 to connect to the OS/390.
Currently it is done using streml3270 over an SNA line.

Apparently streml3270 only works over SNA.

So far the only lead I have is the previous post involving anynet.
