Dick,

Way cool.  Thanks for listening (and thanks to whomever it was that could
make the decision).

Subject: Re: Slack/390 3270 support


Over the last few days, I noticed a lot of email showing an interest in
using a 3270 console and NED on various Linux/390 systems.

WRT 3270: Dick Hitt of UTS Global LLC is the original author of the 3270
device driver already available in the SuSE, RedHat and Debian
distributions.  It works!

WRT NED:  We were very busy the last few months releasing our enhanced web
browser version of Backup and Restore, including the Virtual Tape System.
Now that it's G/A, we've had time to listen and enhanced the NED freeware:
We heard your suggestions to remove the licensing required for each CPU.

Once you've registered with us, you're free to download and make as many
copies as you want within your organization.  If you've already registered,
login and get a new copy of NED.  If you have not, please register with us
and then download a copy.  We're on the honor system here.

Some users have started NED, and then seen the message
  "ned is supported only on 3270 terminals".
It has to do with /dev/tty sometimes being "wrong".  There's a way to get
NED to work, though; just start it with the -T option. If, for example, your
console's at address 0009:
   ned -T /dev/3270/tub0009.

We hope you all like this new NED.
