Re: Access to Mainframes via Putty?

Paul,

I'm coming back to this post because I've realised that your desire to have
all the TELNET services available on *one port* - see below - was mentioned
in the post you referenced but your "snip" ignored it.

I had a nagging doubt over just exactly how this worked so I've done the
research and now I'm happy - and, indeed, if the original "new function"
APAR is anything to go by it was precisely this multiple TELNET server issue
that was the reason for creating this "new function".

The references are as follows:
APAR: PQ37421: SUPPORT TO ALLOW MULTIPLE DISSIMILAR SERVERS TO USE THE SAME
TCPPORT
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1PQ37421
Presentation: IBM Communications Server for OS/390 TCP/IP 2000 Update
Technical Presentation Guide

Pages 2.14 to 2.17

Of course, it may be the same port but you'll be required to use a different
IP address, very likely a VIPA. But, again, a VIPA can be invoked with a
friendly name.

There's also the possibility - as John McKown indicated - to set up your
"solicitor" function using the facilities of your TELNET client but I
appreciate that this probably offers a very simple way also to specify
different port numbers so we're back to where we started.

However, the objective is to be able to connect to any of TSO, CICS,
or UNIX line-by-line, all from the same port.
