In my on-going insanity, I have been trying to comtemplate a method whereby a UNIX shell user, coming in via Telnet or SSH, could run a complete TSO environment, including "full screen" applications such as ISPF. This would bypass the TSO started task entirely and the TSO/VTAM 3270 stuff.
IBM has addressed running ISPF in a sysplex where the user is logged on to TSO on multiple z/OS images concurrently using the same RACF id. IBM's current support for TSO in UNIX appears to be based on how they support TSO in batch, replacing SYSTSIN and SYSTSPRT with a pipe back to the shell command. I don't think this method sets up all the TSO control blocks needed for a "true" TSO environment. I wonder how TSO worked back in the days of the 2741 keyboard/printer. I think TSO supported that device back in MVT. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
