Subject: 3270 to Telnet???
We have a lot of users that use TPX at my site to access our VM systems,
in addition to our MVS on-line applications. Our VM sysprogs would like to
get rid of VM-VTAM because it is very expensive. Is there any MVS VTAM
software (besides TSO of course) that allows you to make an outbound
TN3270 or Telnet connection?
Example, user uses a tn3270 client to connect to the z/OS Comm Server
Telnet server; they connect to TPX. From their TPX menu they select a VTAM
application that prompts them for a remote telnet host, then they are
connected to the remote host.
While there is an alternative, i.e. using a second tn3270 client
connection to VM, our users prefer to keep all their 3270 connections
within one emulator window and use TPX to switch between them. Plus, by
using TPX, if they happen to lose their tn3270 connection for some reason,
they can just log back into TPX and TPX will have kept all their sessions
active. No need to log back in to all their 3270 sessions again.
Thanks.
