I want to disagree that multiple emulator sessions--even the best, and you all

simple minded MVS sysprog, I have dozens of LPARs to deal with between prod and
DR. I have 'only' TSO, SMCS, and OMEGAstuff to deal with. My CICS and Db2
sysprogs have dozens more regions as well. I maintain that there is no emulator
that can sanely handle scores of concurrent logon sessions. There are a number
of session managers to choose from, but outside of the simplest of SNA
environments, I think you need something. I've used TPX for decades at
different shops. Just choose something and go with it.

While Skip brings up a point that multiple sessions may reach a limit of
usability, the big limitation for me is only one window with the session
mangler. There are may times that I bring up two TN3270 windows side by
side for comparisons, etc. My other beef with Session Manglers is that
you must have a good attention key config to move from session to
session, and I've only encountered one installation that really worked.
