  19. Are you SURE this is what you want to do?  It doesn't sound as if it would
  20. have much application, except for running programs on the 6000 which 
  21. expect 3270 datastreams.
  22.  
  23. CICS/6000 (available at the end of June) will offer this facility, for
  24. that very reason.  What we're doing there is to provide a solicitor
  25. which accepts telnet sessions (on a different port from the normal 
  26. telnet port) and expects 3270s.  You could write something similar 
  27. yourself, or perhaps use that of CICS when it becomes available (and
  28. if you can justify a license).
