Subject: Putty connection to mainframe
Hello everyone.
I have been requested by my management to use PUTTY as a 3270 emulator
on the mainframe instead of rumba as a remote connection over the web
access.
Does anyone out there using PUTTY to access the mainframe, if
so, how?
I did use putty to access the test LINUX LPAR that I have up and
running. So far I have only been able to connect to TSO and only as a
single command line, not any of the ISPF panels. I would
appreciate any
help I can get.
Thanks
Frank W Sabo Jr
NO CAN DO. PuTTy does not emulate a 3270. No way. No how. Forget about
it!
There are many inexpensive 3270 emulators for Winbloze out there. If
your company is too cheap to get one, pay the cost (less than $50!)
yourself and save the pain.
Something perverted that you can try is to use PuTTY to get to your
Linux server. Now, from there you can use c3270 (if you have it - it's
free) to connect to your z/OS system. This is a rather "clunky" 3270
emulator. You will soon become withdrawn and introspective, a mere
shadow of your former self.
Or install Cygwin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/). While installing
it, install the X server and x3270 as well. Now use x3270. It works. It
is OK once you have a good keyboard map. Creating a good keyboard map is
a royal pain in the patootie! I have a minimal one that is fairly good
and will share it if you want it.
