I have used MULTITERM, VTAM-SWITCH, CA-VTERM and PVM, personally I like PVM the best. It is quite flexible and has a relatively small footprint. The only gotcha that comes to mind is that it can require a lot of custom scripts.. it all depends on how custom you want to make it. On Thu, Mar 11,

Currently we are running TUBES/GCS session manager. Well, seems the company that took over Macro/4 is raising prices, as in double. So, we are now looking at other VM/VTAM session managers. Multiple TN3270 sessions really is going to be a hard sell. We have some users that have 10-15 sessions
