[comp.dcom.sys.cisco] tn3270...

dd@ariel.unm.edu (Don Doerner) (09/07/90)

Have I missed something?  In a discussion of memory consupmtion between
Roger Fajman <RAF@cu.nih.gov>, and William "Chops" Westfield
<BILLW@mathom.cisco.com>, I saw reference made to tn3270:

>[...]
>basis instead of a per-net basis, tn3270 takes at least an additional
>2k bytes per connection, tcp header compression has to save a bunch
>[...]

I have an almost desperate need for tn3270 capability in a terminal server,
knew that it was under consideration, even possibly development.  Is it a
real product at this point?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that everything (or even anything) in my
list of things that take lots of memory were features currently available
in cisco products, or even things that might show up soon (or ever).

TN3270 is currently under development, but is not yet a "real product".

  I am looking forward for this feature too.  I was told the next version
of TS software v8.2 will support it sometime this fall.  Is that true?
