1) Has anyone found a way to attach a 3270 terminal directly to a token ring? 2) Has anyone found a way to use a printer attached to a token ring print server from an IBM mainframe? A user wants to use the printer as a system printer recognized by SNA. Any ideas? Thanks, Hank

Use an IBM 3174-03R or 53R control unit. >2) Has anyone found a way to use a printer attached to a token ring print >server from an IBM mainframe?

There are several software products available (I've seen ads in the trades for them) that run as VTAM applications to take print files off the spool and print on the printer. Also, you can hang a printer off the 3174-03R or 53R control unit. Butch
