Re: WSA (Was: TN3270 Emulator)

From: "Edward E. Jaffe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Your idea of passing 327x streams to a socket is weak compared to what WSA already does. You're making the classic mistake of confusing the WSA (Workstation Agent) with the ISPF GUI. The ISPF GUI is just one component of the WSA. Other capabilities o

Re: ISPF WSA (Was: TN3270 Emulator)

You can supply a host name as the target of the GUI. So, if the machine name of your workstation doesn't change and you use both DHCP & DDNS, then you don't need to use an IP address. Worked for me, anyway. Bill On Fri, 21 Oct 2005 00:00:00 GMT, Ted MacNEIL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>rumors
