I need the capabilities of a 3270 type terminal, yet I don't want to spend lots of money on a terminal AND an n-port 3274 type controller. Someone suggested using a PC instead. Has anyone used the 3270 emulation capabilities of a PC? I have these specific questions: 1- Does the PC emulate just a 3270 type terminal (so I will need a PC, a controller, and a modem), or a terminal and a 3274 type controller (so all I need is a PC and a modem)? 2- Do I need a PC 3270, or adding a card and some software to a plain old PC will do? 3- Does it work on an AT&T PC 6300? 4- Anything else you can tell a UN*X jock who is a stranger to both the PC world and the IBM mainframe world. Thanx in Advanx. H. Reza Taheri ...!ihnp4!ihuxb!reza (312)-979-7473
