Bruce,
BlueZone from Seagull Software (formerly known as Renex) is a TN3270/E application for Window based platforms and it also includes a session manager as part of the install. They also offer a free FTP application and BlueZone also supports scripting. I've used BlueZone for over 10+ years and it works great. Support is also excellent, if that is a concern. If memory serves, a single user license costs around $150.00. But, you can get a corporate license that will reduce this cost to around $50.00 per copy. Our corporate license is for 50 users and our annual maintenace cost is $450.00 per year. I personally feel the package is worth the costs involved. I've seen situations where only BlueZone would work in certain configurations compared to QWS3270 and others.
Good luck in your research.
I don't beleive that their "session manager" is the same type of
"session manager" being talked about. I think their's allows you to
manage the configuration of their 3270 terminal emulator, not allow a
single 3270 terminal to appear to have multiple 3270 sessions.
If I am wrong, please point me to the documentation. We are looking at
the posibility of replacing PCOM with BlueZone and if it has a real 3270
session manager, we might be able to get rid of NetView Access Services.
Not that we don't like it, but in order to save costs.
