A couple of problems with 3270 IBMLink access. 1 - Most IBMLink users today have IBM ID's with IBMLink access, which as George notes, only uses a userid and a password. Not the account userid password which is required for 3270 IBMLINK. And for many customers with 3270 and WEB access the userid and password are different for 3270 access then web access. 2 - Many companies have a limited number of IBMLink ID's and share the password among the group, as they really don't use it enough to pay for multiple accounts. With WEB access (if/when it works), multiple users can be logged on, with the 3270 access, there is a one user at a time limitation. Ok, I know, from a security perspective, this is a bad idea, but I don't make the decisions (or sign the checks).
