A few years ago I worked for a mainframe-security consulting company. Your comment reminds me of a client: They wanted to create a PC-based security app that would interact with TSS. They didn't know about mainframes, which is why they wanted to hire us. They knew telnet and I think they figured that was all they needed for communication; they were dismayed when I exposed them to EBCDIC, and that was before they even got to true terminal emulation.
Prospective client, I should have said. That project never got started. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* I sometimes use big words so I'll sound photosynthesis. -heard from my son-in-law */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Pew, Curtis G Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2023 14:44 I understand the reasons we went with Virtel were: 1. I think the license was a bit less than licensing ZOC for all our users. 2. (The biggy) It was a lot easier to add MFA to a web app than figure out how to do it with native 3270. (I have to go through a VPN, which requires MFA, to use ZOC.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
