Using Notework With Terminal Emulation Programs
Notework will operate with most terminal emulation products that run in
the "background." If your terminal emulator maintains a connection to
the host in the foreground, the connection may be lost when Notework is
popped-up, because Notework takes full control of the workstation.
If you are experiencing difficulty with Notework and your emulation, try
changing the order in which Notework and the emulator is loaded.
You may use also use Notework inside of your 3270 IBM Terminal Emulation
program, but Notework must be loaded into memory BEFORE you load the
emulation program.
===== NOVELL'S SNA GATEWAY =====
Novell's SNA Gateway IS 3270 Emulation and functions like that described
above. Users can place the VL=ON parameter in the <username>.NWC file to
get a graphic notification. They need the version of the emulator which
supports multiple simultaneous sessions. (The cheap version doesn't). And
they need to configure to keep a least one DOS session open. Even then,
they will have to use the Session Switch hot-key to get to the DOS
session emulation mode. (Again, an SNA user is not running a PC, they are
running a 3270 terminal that looks like PC.) Also they need to load the
Emulator before Notework or popping up will likely break their Mainframe
connection.
===== IRMA 3270 EMULATION BOARDS =====
Notework works fine in conjunction with IRMA 3270 emulation boards. If
you use DCA's E78 software, however, then you will find that Notework is
dormant whenever 3270 emulation is active. This is because E78 converts
your PC into an entirely dumb 3270 terminal while the session is running.
You can overcome this problem by upgrading to IRMAX Multisession software
from DCA. This will allow you to maintain a DOS session while in your
3270 session.
