    does the decserver 90m give full tn3270 functionality or are there
    limitations.  I was speaking to someone who said that different vendors
    offer different flavors of tn3270.  This customer would like to use
    this product to connect terminal users to his as400 which is attached
    to the ethernet.

| 267.1 | How about physical connectivity? | HGOVC::INDO03::FUNGSIONG | Digital Indonesia - Networks | Mon Jun 14 1993 05:21 | 10 |

    I would like also to know the physical connectivity between DECserver
    90M and the IBM environment. Does it support Ethernet? Is there any
    synchronous port on the hardware?
    
    Thanks for any info.

    Yes, there are limitations.  Or should I say options of TN3270 that
    have not been implemented in the current software release.  Perhaps
    you would want to look at the documentation (Commands and Management
    Guides) or post specific options the customer wants here.  I'm not the
    developer of the TN3270 code, so I'm not an expert.
    
    For pointers to network documentation areas, see TOOK::TERMINAL_SERVERS
    Note 300.*. 
    
    RE: .1
    
    Via Ethernet.  With TN3270, the IBM host runs a Telnet/TCP/IP stack. 
    Usually this is accompanied by an Ethernet interface on the IBM
    mainframe, but any connection that is capable of routing the TCP
    packets from the IBM to the Ethernet containing the DS90M will work.
