I have to plead, in response to both questions, not so much inability and ignorance. I once saw a vendor apply a packet sniffer to a problem we had at another client, when we couldn't figure out why a connection wasn't being accepted. He was able to show us that the client and server couldn’t find a common encryption scheme. I immediately saw the value of packet sniffers, and the next time I had a problem on my own machine I got myself a copy of I-think-it-was-WireShark. But I couldn't figure out how to make it work. That was about a year ago, and it's as close as I ever got to sniffing throughput. Sounds like a great idea, but I don't know how. And I'm working remote, of course, so I couldn't do it on the big box in any case.
I understand the other question, but my ignorance isn't much less in that area. I've worked with many clients, and have long suspected that I can use any 3270 emulation client with box once the connection is made. But so far I haven't tested that notion. And in this case the emulation client (Attachmate Extra!) is provided from the other end after I connect to their network, so I guess I wouldn't be able to in any case. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Sir, Romulan Warbird decloA%}g?:NO CARRIER */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Monday, August 24, 2020 13:08 Can you sniff the data stream on both the PC and the z? Is the behavior different with a different emulator or PC? --- On Mon, 24 Aug 2020 12:57:57 -0400, Bob Bridges wrote: >This is a really weird one.
