I'm looking for a method, probably a combination of hardware and software, to allow a _single_ PC to emulate an SNA 3274 controller with up to 32 attached 3270-type displays. Note I said "emulate": I don't want to actually attach 32 terminals, just have 32 active sessions concurrently. A short amount of research yielded several companies which allow almost what I want -- IF you are running a network of PCs. Each PC on the net emulates a single terminal, one of them acts as the 3274 concentrator. This would be an acceptable solution if the vendor would publish the terminal- PC to controller-PC interface so that I could do it all with only one extra machine. So far I haven't found one. Can anyone suggest a company to check with? If you've actually used their products, I'd also appreciate your personal comments on reliability, functionality, value, etc. Thanks much in advance. Please respond by email. I'd be happy to summarize if there appears to be a demand. Use any of the addresses below.
