I understand that.
The interface board he is using translates TN3270 to straight 3270 data
stream. So, since he wants to connect a 3290, he will need to download
microcode before he can use the 3290. Thus, he needs to emulate a 3x74
controller with am ethernet connection (TN3270E) to VTAM/NCP...
TN3270 encapsulates the 3270 data stream; there's no translation involved.
Implementing CUT or DFT is a different translation, and that is apparently what
oec does. Think of TN3270 as an alternative to channel, BSC or SDLC links.

Alex,
What you have in that interface is a simple protocol translator ...
translating bi-directional TN3270 to 3270 Data Stream. That is great to
drive a 3270 dumb terminal.
The first thing you need is to emulate a real control unit ... like a 3174
or 3274.

If you have done a FIXCAT on the various PDSE categories, there should't be a
