I must admit that I wasn't following the thread that closely, and
internal security policy may dictate otherwise, but ssh should provide
sufficient protection. If the original poster is on the outside and
needs a connection to a mainframe, ssh to a intermediate host may be
enough. Once on

access.
Does anyone out there using PUTTY to access the mainframe, if so, how?
I did use putty to access the test LINUX LPAR that I have

Putty is a telnet replacement not capable of doing 3270.
The only TSO that would work would be the old command line stuff - no ISPF

Putty won't do the trick.
Why do they want you to use it? Surely not to avoid the cost -- tell them to

Others have correctly observed that PUTTY does not emulate a 3270.
What is the real requirement? Is it to encrypt all tn3270 traffic between
your workstation and your mainframe? PUTTY can encrypt vanilla telnet to a
unix box - maybe the real requirement is to do SSL for your tn3270 traffic.

Unless you are planning to run x-windows, ssh or telnet to the unix side
of mvs... putty will be pretty useless.
