- TGV's MultiNet does a damn fine job. And it negotiates the TN3270, so you
- don't even have to know it's an IBM (although it's best to be prepared for that
- little bit of news :-) I simply do a $telnet vmsp and up pops the login mask.
-
- Since we are using TN3270 as part of a migration away from our SNA Gateways,
- it's also nice to have a keymapping that matches our SNAGway keymapping.
- TGV was happy to provide that, too.
