- If all you need is a simply 3270, COAX attached, Emulator and you don't mind
- using a CUT Mode emulator, IBM has a product called "OS/2 Entry Level 3270
- Emulation Program". It's a resident 16-bit OS/2 application that only takes
- up about 35K of memory. Below is a brief description from Hone:
-
- PS: NEW AS-IS (SERVICES) OFFERING: ELEP2
-
- May 1, 1991
-
- Product Name: OS/2 ENTRY LEVEL 3270 EMULATION PROGRAM
-
- Description: The OS/2 Entry Level 3270 Emulation Program, ELEP2, is a
- 3270 CUT (Control Unit Terminal) Mode Terminal Emulator which allows a
- user to connect a workstation via a COAX cable to a 3174, 3274, or
- equivalent control unit. The control unit will then view the workstation
- as a 3278/3279 Display Station and allow the user to access a Host System.
-
- - ELEP2 can run in either an OS/2 Window or Full Screen Protect Mode session
-
- - Both DownLoad and UpLoad functions are supported using IBM's IND$FILE File
- Transfer Protocol
-
- - Up to 4 3270 Adapter Cards are supported. If ELEP2 is used on a system
- that also has OS/2 Communications Manager (CM) installed, you can run CM
- on one adapter card and ELEP2 on the other three.
-
- - ELEP2 can emulate any of the following 3278/79 Host terminals:
-
- Model-2 (24 rows / 80 columns)
- Model-3 (32 rows / 80 columns)
- Model-4 (43 rows / 80 columns)
- Model-5 (27 rows / 132 columns)
-
- - ELEP2 supports a Low LeveL Application Programming Interface (LLAPI). This
- allows applications to be written which interact with the Host Environment.
- The ELEP2 LLAPI is implemented via the IOCtl Interface of ELEP2DD.
-
- SoftWare Requrements:
-
- - ELEP2 runs in OS/2 protect mode and uses documented OS/2 API interfaces not
- available in DOS compatibility mode. While OS/2 1.2 or greater is
- recommended it should work with any OS/2 1.x or 2.x release. When run on a
- 32-bit V2.x release, ELEP2 will run in 16-bit mode.
-
- - The file transfer utilities, ELEP2RCV for DownLoad and ELEP2SND for UpLoad,
- require the IND$FILE program to be installed on your Host system.
-
- HardWare Requirements:
-
- - Any WorkStation capable of running OS/2.
-
- - If you are using a MicroChannel machine you will need a 370 Connection
- Adapter card Version A (Long Card) or Version B (Short Card). The latter
- allows you to install up to 4 adapter cards at the same time, each attached
- to a separate control unit.
-
- - If you are using a Family-1 Machine (e.g. PC/AT or XT/286) you will need a
- 3278/79 Emulation (Long card) or Advanced Emulation (Short card)
- adapter. The latter allows you to install up to 4 adapter cards at the
- same time, each attached to a separate control unit.
