For the RS6000, things moved to microchannel and AWD was told that they had to (only) use PS2 adapter cards. The PS2 microchannel 16mbit T/R card was designed/developed for the 300+ stations on lan segment doing terminal emulation ... and as a result the PS2 microchannel 16mbit T/R card had lower per card thruput than the PC/RT 4mbit T/R card (there was joke that if the RS6000 was only to use PS2 adapter cards, it wouldn't run any faster than a PS2). -- Lynn: Sorry I did go off on a slight tangent. What I was just trying to say I had to login through HONE to an MVS system that had the TSO Session Manager installed.The only HONE terminal was at IBM building. We were a fairly large accountbut the IBMers had to share desk area with us systems programmers.
