Really no need. There are several Linux-compatible 3270 terminal emulation products. A very professional-grade one is IBM's: WebSphere Host On-Demand. That's exactly what IBM did starting over 10 years ago: use a cross-platform GUI. It's now Version 10, and IBM didn't skip any numbers to get there. Also works on Mac, Windows, and even UNIX clients. I think this issue came up before on IBM-MAIN, so there's probably some more discussion in the searchable archives. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
