Connection Types
HostConnect is the application which provides simultaneous connections to a variety
of host systems using the Telnet protocol over TCP/IP on an Ethernet network.
HostConnect provides TN5250 emulation for access to IBM AS/400 systems, TN3270
terminal emulation for connection to IBM Mainframe systems, and ASCII terminal
emulation for connection to RS/6000, DEC, HP and other ASCII host computers. In
addition, HostConnect supports the TN5250E and TN3270E protocols, giving you access
to advanced features such as device-name selection, sign-on bypass and printing.
Host sessions can be configured to start automatically each time eTerm 350 is started or
you can start sessions as needed from the HostConnect Desktop or the menu bar in an
emulation session. HostConnect session types include:
• TN5250
