I strongly suspect that your "consoles" have the appearance of
channel-attached 3270 display devices using the type of channel attachment
first offered by the 3272 controller in the early '70s. Today this is often
called non-SNA channel-attached 3270 controller, the non-SNA being important
since there is also a set of channel protocols which correspond to an SNA
channel-attached 3270 controller. All this to explain that just "3174" is
really insufficient to describe what you are using today since different
models of 3174 offer either one or the other type of channel attachment.
There are many offerings today which *pretend* to be a non-SNA
channel-attached 3270 controller as they appear to the 390 or z hardware.
They then often provide the function of a TELNET server using accepted 3270
data stream flows to a compatible TELNET client, usually described as the
TN3270 protocol.
I believe the 2074 is one of these.
There is also the OSA-Express feature using the Integrated Console
Controller (ICC) function. However someone else will need to explain whether
or not that is an option with your 9672-RA6.

Subject: replacing VSE and VM consoles with ?
Hi,
I would like some advice on replacing VSE and VM consoles.
The curent consoles are 3174 attached.
The computer is a 9672-RA6.
I am a z/OS person with little knowledge of VM and VSE.
What are my options?
Will a 2074 work?
TIA
Gadi
