We have a lot of users that use TPX at my site to access our VM systems, in addition to our MVS on-line applications. Our VM sysprogs would like to get rid of VM-VTAM because it is very expensive. Is there any MVS VTAM software (besides TSO of course) that allows you to make an outbound TN3270 or Telnet connection? Example, user uses a tn3270 client to connect to the z/OS Comm Server Telnet server; they connect to TPX. From their TPX menu they select a VTAM application that prompts them for a remote telnet host, then they are connected to the remote host. While there is an alternative, i.e. using a second tn3270 client connection to VM, our users prefer to keep all their 3270 connections within one emulator window and use TPX to switch between them. Plus, by using TPX, if they happen to lose their tn3270 connection for some reason, they can just log back into TPX and TPX will have kept all their sessions active. No need to log back in to all their 3270 sessions again.
