Re: Why isn't a QPADEV* name used?

[Wayne McAlpine <wayne.mcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the Telnet client species a virtual device name, then that device 
will be used.  If it doesn't exist, it will be created.  Otherwise, the 
QPADEV* naming will be used.  This is in accordance with TN5250 RFC.

When I connect a CLI thin client and leave the device name blank, the system uses one of the hard coded names for the java based emulators instead of using a QPADEV* name.  How can I get the thin clients to use a QPADEV* name?
