If I were cynical I might even think the name of the session was intended to be misinterpreted. We looked at the session manager product a year or 2 ago. Hopefully the product has been improved since then. And hopefully sales people currently pushing it understand it better than the ones presenting the product to us. They perhaps knew something about the session manager part; they knew *nothing* about the Tn3270 server part. They had no idea that their lack of support for Tn3270E implied that their Tn3270 server was about 10 years out of date. Considering that IBM already has (IMO) a good Tn3270(E) server and 2 pretty good session managers, trying to foist this product off rather than implementing the support in their existing products was more of an insult than a compliment. (And I'm not really so sure that eliminating that intermediate VTAM step between the Tn3270 server and the session manager is worth much effort in the first place.) Hopefully the other complementary tools have more going for them.
