Contact Renex sales rep: Jim Schwalb Rich Bowers Sunnyvale,Ca Oakland,Ca 408-446-3986 415-465-9399 Or Renex Corp 6901 Old Keene Mill Rd Springfield, Va 22150 (703)-451-2200 Or 491-3300 The RT74B converter connects to the IBM as a 3274 controller and is defined as a remote 3270 cluster. The N rs232 lines out the back side connect at VARIOUS baud rates for EACH connection! ( 1 < N < 32 connections, with one used for a printer port). The ascii terminal user is given the 3270 full screen emulation with highliting, et al! I also recall that the PFkey mapping is used defined. Only negative asspect is the slowness of the BSC connection, and even at 9600, it still show through, ... but then that's faithfull emulation of remote 3270 behavior, isn't it.
