Re: Windoze "Terminal" as 5250 Display Session

[Carl Galgano <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dean:
The Windows terminal program would work as a VT100 emulation connected from
the PCs serial comm port to a port on the ASCII WSC (or protocol converter)
that is configured to emulate a VT100 terminal.  (VT100 is not the only
emulation that works, but is probably the most used.  When you config the
ASCII port you have to specify VT100 for the emulation type, if use the
value of *CALC only IBM terminal emulations are recognized. (ie 3164, 3151,
5250).
HTH.
