This is not true for VM. I was thinking about CMS and for some reason (lack of sleep? brain damage?) confused it with VM. VM allows multiple 3270 terminals to access a virtual machine by using "DIAL xxxx" style of login. As AIX/370 exists now and will be shipped, there is no "normal" 3270 driver, just a "console" driver, so there will not be a capability to "dial" an AIX virtual machine from several 3270 terminals. However, there is nothing to prevent OEMs from writing their own drivers. -- -- Oleg Kiselev I speak for myself only. (213)337-5230
