Alan, I know that many of the TN3270 emulators out there do not work properly as OS consoles. Something about the way that console support in OS does chaining (chains a READ CCW to a WRITE CCW or some such). I know that we had to purchase Hummingbird's HostExplorer for console support on our Visara controller (similar to the 2074) because Rumba did not work. Neither did QWS3270Plus from Jolly Giant software. It worked as a VTAM device, but not as a console.
