We are in the process of setting a new program whereby students at our school will access a computer running VM/SP, CMS etc at another school via the internet. At present, we use TN3270 on a PC to allow them to access this other system. But, to do this, they must be at school, on one of the PCs with internet access. We would like to permit them to also access this remote mainframe by modem. We thought perhaps they could login to our UNIX system, then telnet to the remote machine. But, when we do this, the remote system seems to be in some kind of line mode, and no screen oriented commands work. So, is there some kind of telnet 3270 for the UNIX that we can use? The only one I've heard of seems to require X-windows, which isn't really what we had in mind. Failing that, is there some way we can convince a mainframe running VM/SP and CMS to allow use of a vt100 instead of 3270? Adrian Miranda uunet!clark!ade or ade@clark.edu
