If so, you may be out of luck :-( The 8232 (and assoc. software), that 'I' have, accesses a 43xx at the VM level. I can't directly log into the 4361 at the CICS level from a UNIX box using telnet. Without tn3270 a UNIX box can only get a line-mode interface into VM, due to the fact that the IBM box WANTS a 3270-style terminal on the other end of the wire. I can't even get data bound for a printer LU over to a network socket to print it on a UNIX box. Not being a IBMer, I not in a position to be able attack the problem from the 43xx side - I can only attack from the UNIX side. IBM informs me that I am out of luck (this is the condensed, tranlated version of what they told me). > [beef deleted] >Has anyone out there ever come close to duplicating this?

If there is someone out there with some insite into the IBM side of this problem, let's here from them.
