Does that mean that you couldn't access AIX/370 from a traditional
mainframe terminal?
That seems bizarre to me. But it does sound like some other strange
things I've heard come out of IBM before.
I remember talking extensively to Barry Appleman (VM’s
TCP IP guY) about
writing an X3270 xterm variant.
What would that have done? Are you meaning an app that would run on
non-AIX/370 OSs that could then act similar to the i860/i386 client /
node? (Was it trying to emulate a traditional serial dumb terminal?)
