You should also check out using PVM (and the associated PVM gadgetry) as your target for the DIAL command. The PVM gateway code to VTAM is a bit nicer than having a non-SNA terminal type, and PVM presents a nice menu of systems that can be connected in lots of different ways (even multiplexed over NJE connections, if you actually had to do that...). PVM was designed to handle very large numbers of sessions and deal with dialed terminals.
