- There are two available from IBM.
- Extended Services/2 Version 1.0 contains Communications Manager.
- This product includes 3270 emulation across SDLC, LAN, X.25.
- It also includes a lot of other goodies. As ES/2 also contains
- a relational database manager it may be too expensive for your
- taste.
-
- Personal Communications Version 2 provides similar facilities
- for DOS/WINDOWS environments. Version 3 has just been announced
- and can basically do everything that Comms. MGR. can do,
- except for the APPN/APPC/LU6.2 communication and distributed
- database.
- It will run under OS/2 windows VDM's, DOS VDM's and I think also
- as native OS/2, but I'm not sure as I'm writing this from memory.
-
- Then there are the third party software manufacturers.
