[list.ibmtcp-l] TELNET from VTAM application

"Peter W. Day" <OSPWD@EMUVM1.bitnet> (02/27/90)

We would like to provide TELNET as another service on the list presented by
our session manager (CL/SUPERSESSION), but it runs under MVS as a VTAM appli-
cation and TELNET is only available here under VM (using IBM TCP/IP for VM).
We are aware of SNA gateways that allow TELNET to the gateway to establish
a 3270 terminal session, but we don't know if they work in reverse.  In any
case, what is the best way to provide TELNET client from a VTAM application?

Thanks,

We run a similar configuration (Supersession on MVS with Telnet on VM).
In our case VM is one option of the Supersession menu.  When logged on
to VM the user via a menu can use Telnet. Our local ethernet attached
hosts are directly selected from the VM menu and a second panel is used
if the user wishes to connect to any remote host.

Does the above mean the VM 'TELNET hostname'syntax cmd line is replaced with

a selection menu ?  What I would like is a VTAM session manager (NVAS)
TELNET selection menu... Any help with that ???

I don't know the best way, but assuming that you don't want to
use TSO TN3270, then there is a product called A-Net wbich provides
TN3270 client services as a VTAM application under MVS.

Note, this does not represent a product or vendor endorsement.
