Re: How to set up windows port for IBM emulator

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't thing you will find what you want here as our machines use 5250
Emulation vs 3270 Emulation. In our case when used of a LAN it uses an
Enhanced Telnet connection.

I see by your email you are across pond from the US so most of us are
working on our beauty sleep right now. There may be more help in the
morning US time.

We Wish You Luck.
