Re: Mochasoft and Windows 7 (WinTronix IP Client)

I was told, finally, that the issue was a firewall. This, after the caller found out that that their business could not connect to other i shops.

Communication. What a concept. The caller was tied up for hours, as ws I, chasing a problem that existed in another area.

We support the TN5250e emulator WinTronix IP Client (formerly the
Synapse family of emulators: WinAPPC, NetWolf, and IP Client).

We recompiled the source (written in C) in MS Visual Studio 2008 and it
runs on MS System 7 with no specific changes required.

PS: IP Client selects terminal type based on screen size.

I was on a telephone call for several hours trying to get a remote 5250 session connected. I told the person on the other side that a specific terminal type was required. He told me that he had no provision for selecting a terminal type - just 24x80 or 27x132. I found out later that the computer had Windows 7 and that he could not get the Windows XP version of Mochasoft to run.

I just wanted to know if anybody has seen problems getting Windows 7/Mochasoft to connect, and if there is that big a difference between the XP version and Windows 7.

Also tried PC5250 and that still did not offer, according to the other end, an entry for a terminal type.

Thanks.
