IBM Personal Communications/3270 Version 4.0, a full 32-bit
product for OS/2 (R) and OS/2 Warp, allows seamless integration of
your PC and 3270 host environments. In a single, easy-to install
package, PC/3270 provides superior terminal emulation, file transfer
facilities, dynamic configuration, drag-and-drop functions, and many
easy-to-use facilities to assist the end user and software
administrator.
PC/3270 Version 4.0 for OS/2 builds on the success of the
PC/3270 product for DOS and Windows+ users. This product is a
sophisticated 3270 emulation package which:
o Supports a wide range of connectivity options including LAN and
WAN environments (DFT, CUT, Token-Ring, Ethernet, TCP/IP, SDLC,
APPC over LU2 -- APPC3270, Home3270, and IPX/SPX -- NetWare** for
SAA (R)).
o Supports mobile users with the latest in asynchronous
connectivities, such as SNA-over-Async, Hayes Autosync, and
wireless (cellular data communications).
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 2
o Connects via credit card adapters (PCMCIA).
o Includes several programming interfaces: Emulator
High-Level Language Application Program Interface (EHLLAPI),
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), Server-Requestor Programming
Interface (SRPI), Personal Communications API (PCSAPI), and
EasyREXX for EHLLAPI.
o Facilitates customizing the software to the needs of your
business and users, such as color mapping (drag and drop), mouse
setup, and automatic font-sizing, through the PC/3270 graphical
interface. Also, the macro record-and-play function helps you
eliminate repetitive keystrokes.
o Supports technical support staff with ease of installation,
remote installation facilities and administration, productivity
tools, and unattended installation through IBM's
Configuration/Installation/ Distribution (CID).
o Supports LAN protocol through IBM Network Transport Services/2.
PC/3270 belongs to the expanding IBM family of PC-to-host
Communication products. These provide a common look and feel of
PC-to-host environments with stand-alone or combined 3270 and 5250
emulation software for users of DOS, Windows, or OS/2.
A wide variety of upgrade options from IBM and non-IBM
emulators provide a cost-effective solution for your business.

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Response time in a terminal environment
depends upon a variety of system unit and data-communication load
factors. These include the types and speeds of system units
processor, number of types of communication adapters installed, the
line speed of the communication service, and the amount of processing
done by the applications utilizing Personal Communications/3270
Version 4.0 for OS/2
PLANNING INFORMATION
The Personal Communications/3270 Version 4.0 for OS/2 can be
set up to work in a server/client relationship. This approach for
Personal Communications/3270 Version 4.0 for OS/2 is to store the
least amount of code necessary on the client workstation and to store
the major portion of the run time code and configuration information
on an LAN file server. This allows the customers to utilize their
workstations for more applications.
MEMORY AND FIXED ESTIMATING WORKSHEET
The following worksheets may be used to determine hardware capacity
requirements for Personal Communications/3270 Version 4.0 for OS/2.
To estimate requirements, add the recommended memory or hard-file
size for the functions desired. These totals plus sufficient buffer
must be added to the capacity required for the base OS/2 operating
system, other user applications, and the requirements for user data.
Communication Manager/2 Version 1.11 numbers are also shown to help
with your planning requirements.
The numbers shown in the worksheets are for planning purposes.
They represent the probable memory size in megabytes for concurrent
operation of the functions. The numbers assume an acceptable degree
of swapping.
