Hi
             I am trying to use x3270 to connect to a mainframe, on
port number 623, but am unable to. It shows an error "The service
timedout", can you please suggest why this error is occuring / how can
i resolve it. Is this a problem with the mainframe server or the
emulator software. Or plesem suggest a better software if there is
one.



try this:

telnet {mainframe's_IP_or_name_goes_here}  623

and see if you get a connection to port 623.


here's an example of me using telnet to connect
to port 80 on this machine:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

You are looking for a line that starts out:
