The reason that UTS could support 3270's is that it runs native. AIX, on
the other hand runs as a guest under VM. As Oleg pointed out, this means
that AIX370 is just another user logged onto the system and running an
operating system. Since VM/CMS does not allow multiple logons of the same
user id this precludes multiple 3270 access to the system. However, if
the installation has VM TCP/IP installed, any regular user could simply
telnet or rlogin to AIX over the network.
