Now I'm confused. Do you want a program which will run on Linux/390 which communicates to a real 3270 terminal without a 3174? 3270s are attached to a 3174 via coax (normally). There is no way to coax attach directly to an IBM mainframe. At one time, I think that BlackBox had a device which would connect a real 3270 terminal to an ASCII host. Basically it made a 3270 terminal look like a VT-100. But I don't see such a thing on their web site anymore. Just to be sure that I understand. You want to attach a real 3270 "green screen" to your Linux/390 system, but without a 3174 control unit (or equivalent)? If that is correct, I think this is impossible. -- John McKown Senior Technical Specialist UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team +1.817.255.3225
