This machine at my desk is already emulating a Sparcstation 5, a Mac Pro and a Windows 2019 machine. I might give this a crack just so I have an excuse to try to get one of the 3270 terminal emulators running. Like x3270 or one of those things that used to float around. I assume you need to emulate a terminal concentrator somehow along with the mainframe itself?
- wsh 5y agoYou only have to provide a controller, as this person did, if you want to use a real terminal: https://ajk.me/building-an-ibm-3270-terminal-controller https://ajk.me/building-an-ibm-3270-terminal-controller Otherwise, a TN3270 client program such as x3270 is enough: Hercules makes TN3270 clients appear to the mainframe operating system as though they were display stations connected to a channel-attached establishment controller. If you don’t want to install an X11 server, by the way, you can use the c3270 program that comes with the x3270 package.
- smackeyacky 5y agoOk cool. Will go do some installing.
