- asc3270 Presentation :
- ---------------------
-
- Developed by Advanced Software Concepts, asc3270 is a Terminal Tool designed to
- offer 3270 terminal emulation using the standard access interfaces of Apple's
- Communication Toolbox. Currently, asc3270 supports telnet connections over
- TCP/IP using our TCP/IP connection tool called TCPack, as well as SNA
- connections using our, soon to be released, SNA•ck connection tool based on
- Apple's SNA•ps product.
-
- asc3270 is System 7.0 compliant and supports balloon help.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: asc3270 is Copyright © 1991, 1992 by Advanced Software Concepts.
- This Demo is being made available on this forum ONLY for evaluation purpose.
-
- Enclosed is a demo version of asc3270. This version is fully functional, but
- the connection time is limited to 8 minutes for each session. Also, an
- Installer application is delivered with the commercial version which allows an
- End-User or a System Administrator to setup the default connection parameters.
-
-
- New Features (since v1.4) :
- ------------------------
-
- • Supports both connections tools from ASC (TCPack and SNA•ck).
-
- • Balloon Help is supported (under System 7 only).
-
- • Real blinking attributes are implemented.
-
-
- Hardware & Software Requirements :
- ---------------------------------
-
- • Any Macintosh with at least 128K Roms (Macintosh Plus and newers).
-
- • Macintosh System Software 6.0.4 or later.
-
- • The Macintosh Communications Toolbox v. 1.0 or later.
-
- • A Communication Toolbox compliant application like 5PM (our own powerful

- with the Communications Toolbox Basic Connectivity Set) or a HyperCard XCMD set
- like our ascHyperCTB product.
-
- • TCPack, our TCP/IP + Telnet + FTP server Connection Tool for the
- Communications Toolbox, required by asc3270.
- or
- SNA•ck our soon to be released SNA connection tool build on top of Apple's

-
-
- Installation Procedure :
- ---------------------
-
- 1) Make sure the CTB is correctly installed.
-
- 2) Load the "asc3270 Fonts" into your system file by using Font DaMover, or by
- dragging them on your System file icon under System 7.0.
- Make sure to trash any older versions of the asc3270 Fonts you may have in
- your System file.
-
- 3) Make sure to trash any older version of the asc3270Prefs file you may have
- in your system folder.
-
- 4) Drag the asc3270 tool into your "Communications Folder" located in the
- System Folder if you are running System 6.0x or in your "Extensions" folder
- if you are running System 7.0.
-
- 5) Run your CTB compliant application, select and setup TCPack or SNA•ck for
- the connection and asc3270 as terminal emulation.
- Open the session; if you have correctly setup your parameters and… if you
- have an IBM mainframe supporting tcp/ip telnet or SNA sessions, everything
- should work fine.
-
- 6) Use the On-line help if you have any problems.
-
-
- Configuration Procedure :
- -----------------------
-
- 1) Select TCPack as Connection Tool. Choose an IBM-3278-x, IBM-3279-x Terminal Type
