Instead of putting the terminal ID on every connect command, you can use the "terminal myID" command to set myID as the default terminal ID for the current ts-shell session. > I'm using the iucvtty method, and the reason I chose to specify lnxhvc0 as > the terminal ID there is because that is the default when using the connect > command from ts-shell. The lnxhvc0 ID is the default terminal ID because it is a "reserved" name by the iucv hvc driver. In contrast, iucvtty can be started with arbitrary terminal IDs. > It works fine... those terminal identifiers don't mean anything, they're > just a way of identifying what to run.

They are necessary to identify iucvtty instances or iucv hvc terminals on target systems. The lnxhvc* identifiers are reserved for the iucv hvc kernel device driver. To avoid confusion, it is not recommended to use these IDs with iucvtty if the iucv hvc kernel device driver active. (The device driver typically takes precedence over the iucvtty program). > I've only just got this all working in the last few days, and there are a > number of changes/enhancements I'd like to see. :-) > > Is this stuff open source? Or how/where do I make suggestions? You can send your feedback and suggestions to "linux-...@de.ibm.com" or directly to me. Thanks a lot for your feedback about the iucv terminals!
