So, we do still need a VPS (or cheaper [hopefully]) product. >But for "display devices" (tubes and printers) CICS speaks mainly 3270 >datastream and SCS datastreams, and communicates with those kinds of devices >via VTAM. Now, VTAM speaks to TCPIP when TCPIP speaks tn3270 Yes, I am aware of that. We have some users using TN3270 to get here from there. I should have been clearer with my question(s), but I would have thought talking about VPS would imply PRINT not TERMINAL.
