FLEX-ES provides something called the 'Terminal Solicitor' which gives you access to local non-SNA terminals which are defined in the configuration file. To use the 'Terminal Solicitor' you would telnet to port 24 of the host operating system. x3270 is the standard 3270 emulation package which is installed with FLEX-ES and you can connect directly to your S/390 OS from the laptop by doing a telnet to localhost (or 127.0.0.1) which will give you the first USSTAB in your VTAMLIB concatenation. If however you have configured your system so that an ethernet adapter is emulating, for example, a 3172 then you can directly telnet in to the IP address of you S/390 OS, which would by default be port 23. Once again you will get the first USSTAB in your VTAMLIB concatenation unless you have created a new USSTAB for TCPIP and modified your TCPIP PROFILE to point to this USSTAB. Exactly like 'big iron.' If anyone is using port 3270 I suspect they are using Hercules.
