I have two choices, use the VPN to use my remote desktop at work, then use BlueZone from my work's computer - or use my VPN to connect to work and use tn3270 without connecting to my desktop computer at work. I suppose there's a third to use my Windows within a VPN on my Mac. I have an aluminum keyboard at home (which I hate), which has an FN key which I use to turn my Fkeys into application Fkeys. Depending on the Remote Desktop means I am dependent on my PC being available. And why go through it if all I want to do is access the mainframe? Our BlueZone web page gives instructions for Mac users (how to download and install tn3270), which is more support than we have for Vista users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
