:I regularly use three different mainframes in my work at the same time.

:How can I do this with just ONE terminal on my desk?

If this is an issue for more than just one or two people in your company,
I suggest you have your mainframe people look into AT&T's 6500 Multifunction
Communication System.  The 6544 Cluster Controller will allow for 
simultaneous access to up to 3 synchronous hosts.  Using a 6539 windowing
terminal (3270-type, color, up to 4 windows simultaneous), you can be
automatically connected to all three of your mainframes.  The terminal
has a built-in "cut and paste" procedure which will allow you to get data
from one host screen and input it into another. 

The 6500 system also supports the use of standard ASCII asynch terminals,
simultaneous connection to asynch hosts as well as synch hosts, and
has a plug-compatible option that will allow you to hook up those real
big blue 3270 devices.

Personal opinion: it's the best, most useful data product that AT&T sells.

Personal disclaimer:  Although I work as a consultant to AT&T's Data Systems
Group, I am an employee of Electronic Data Systems, *not* AT&T.
