In order for this to work you must have PU type 2.1 software on your UNIX box that your VT user can bind to. What this means is that your UNIX terminal user must initiate an LU-SSCP session with the manager of his domain (usually VTAM, in this hierarchical network) and then request an LU-LU session to a cross-domain resource which is an LU in another domain: the domain controlled by your UNIX PU type 2.1. Currently, this is not implemented in any UNIX product I know of, but someone may still have it or be working on it. I believe DEC and INTERLINK have done/are doing PU type 2.1 for VAX/VMS. Maybe DEC will make it availible on ultrix (dec's UNIX). >This would probably be an LU6.2 application Unlikely, since LU6.2 is an peer-to-peer application protocol which is designed for client-server type of transaction processing. You need a LU type 2 protocol, which is for terminals and such devices. Hope this helps. -- - bob ;----------------------------------------------------------------- ; Bob Pasker | rbp@well.sf.ca.us ; San Francisco, CA | +1 415-695-8741
