Let me apologize at the start if this has been beat to death, but its new to me. I am using MSDOS on an AST 80286 with a Western Digital Ethernet card. I have been accessing the main frame (IBM 4281) by using NCSA Telbin Version 2.2 of 7/5/88. The VT100 terminal emulation of the NCSA is not what the main frame expects it to be. I have a key mapping for PROCOMM that works just fine with the main frame. My question is...(drum roll)...can I set up Procomm the access the ether net card instead of the modem?. Thank You...Jon -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This article is published with everyone in mind.

At school I dial up and use the 3270/950 emulation built into Procomm Plus. It emulates TVI950, but allows the entire keyboard set of a 3270 terminal to be emulated. Some VT100 emulators, I have found, are not quite up to par, Procomm's included, but especially Q-modem. They don not correctly emulate the entire keyboard.
