Probably some real terminals, and a terminal server for people not close enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Mallory "Mallory is famously quoted as having replied to the question "Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?" with the retort "Because it's there", I think that is as close as I know to the reason to run a real 3705. Because it is there. Yes one can run emulated programs on an emulated host with emulated terminals connected to an emulated 3705. But it isn't the same. -- glen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
