NO CAN DO. PuTTy does not emulate a 3270. No way. No how. Forget about it! There are many inexpensive 3270 emulators for Winbloze out there. If your company is too cheap to get one, pay the cost (less than $50!) yourself and save the pain. Something perverted that you can try is to use PuTTY to get to your Linux server. Now, from there you can use c3270 (if you have it - it's free) to connect to your z/OS system. This is a rather "clunky" 3270 emulator. You will soon become withdrawn and introspective, a mere shadow of your former self. Or install Cygwin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/). While installing it, install the X server and x3270 as well. Now use x3270. It works. It is OK once you have a good keyboard map. Creating a good keyboard map is a royal pain in the patootie! I have a minimal one that is fairly good and will share it if you want it. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
