My wild guess is that Tom Brennan knows a TN3270 client when he sees one. @Tom: Was it yours?

I guess if something works, why > change it? Curious: are you sure it is 3270, not 5250? AS/400 family is quite popular in retail. I had many false detections. BTW: Our blood donation system use AS/400 system. Several years ago they used real (hard) terminals. Now it is PCOMM. However doctor told me there are plans to replace it with new shining gui&mobile system. As far as I know they saw some prototype and they are very unhappy about the change. Current system is simple and even new personnel have no problem with that. <sarcasm on> The new one will be modern, with all possible modern features - malware, ransomware, data lost, logic errors, administrative interface for PFCSKs connected via Internet... -- Radoslaw Skorupka (looking for new job) Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
