get a copy of this book?

The author is Douglas Steedman, publisher Technology Appraisals Ltd., 1992.

Well, no followups appeared, so ...

If anyone has an answer to this, could you send me a  copy,  too?   Or
maybe post it. I know of several other groups of people who would find
it quite interesting.

(Also, if you have effective techniques for staying awake through  the
Netview tutorial, I'd like to hear about it, too.  ;-)

The second question is what is the server on the IBM end that provides the 3270

Of course which protocol you use depends upon the "mode" of the IND$FILE 
transfer.  There are two protocols that come into play depending upon the 
status of the QUERY bit in the BIND parameters.  If it's set, then you must 
deal with DFT mode transfers (using structured fields).  If not set, then 
you work with CUT mode file transfers.  Any file transfer program you write 
should be able to handle either mode (unless you know specifically which one 
you'll be dealing with.)

BTW, I think the DFT mode protocol is also described in the PC3270 User's Guide
(or some such name) in Appendix C - File Transfer Data Streams.  This is the 
PC that IBM made somewhere around the time the XT came out.

Good Luck.

TN3270 is a 3270 emulation over TELNET.  You have to have some TCP/IP route
into the mainframe such as IBM's TCP/IP with a 3172 or a McData or Open
Connect SNA to TCP/IP gateway.

The 3270 emulation is performed on the client.  That is, on the device on
which you are executing TN3270.  You send and receive full screens from the
mainframe.

A product called ANET from Tubner and Associates will work with a couple of
people's TCP/IP for VM or MVS.

Now, are these tubes really 3270's or PC running on a coax connection?  If they are
PC's, just cut out the SNA part and put them on ethernet with TCP/IP.

Depends on what you mean.  There has to be a telnet server on the mainframe side. 
Either on the mainframe itself or on some sort of front end box.  As far as who
does the 3270 keyboard and screen handling, that is the local tn3270 program.  If
you look at the packets on the wire, you will see that they contain EBCDIC
characters.

The mainframe really thinks it is talking to a 3270 tube so there is no additional
software needed for emulation on the mainframe.

Charles.

VM/CMS is not required to use tn3270. We have a MVS only system, and we
use tn3270 extensively...

We use a unix workstation as the terminal/server which invokes the tn3270
emulation.

I have a curious question to ask, may be a bit dumb. When a PC dial into a
unix host using telnet over PPP, the PC appear as a IP node right? What 
about the UNIX host? It becomes a IP router right? If that is the case
then each modem connected to the UNIX host will be having a different 
network interface which need a different subnet number! is it true? Or
all the modems/dial-in lines can be considered within one network separated
(different from the subnet number the UNIX host is in) and share one common 
IP subnet number, or in fact all the dial-in PC can share the same subnet number
of the UNIX host and become part of the same network the UNIX host is in?

Whichever case is it, how does it affect the IP routing table? Is static route
required, or RIP is used?

Right and Right and "Right so far".

   which need a different subnet number!  is it true?

Not necessarily.

   Or all the modems/dial-in lines can be considered within one
   network separated (different from the subnet number the UNIX host
   is in) and share one common IP subnet number, 

That's one way to do it, and it fits well with the normal way IP
routing is handled.

   or in fact all the dial-in PC can share the same subnet number of
   the UNIX host and become part of the same network the UNIX host is
   in?

That's the other way to do it, and it fits well enough with normal IP
routing by faking direct connectivity to the office network.  Just
instruct the office UNIX host to return its Ethernet address in
response to ARP requests for the PC's IP address (e.g. `arp -s
pc-IP-address unix-ether-address pub') so that everything else on the
office network will know how to get to the PC.

One big advantage of the ARP-but-don't-route technique is that it
requires no change to your routing tables, since you're not really
routing IP packets between networks.  Another big advantage is that
you needn't apply to your campus network administrator for Yet Another
Subnet for your department's own use, particularly since a
dialup-based subnet's address space will tend to be even more sparsely
populated than that of a subnet on a LAN, which may cause the network
administrator to be reluctant to hand you another subnet number.

In our network, do it both ways.  Some of our home Suns are on the
same IP subnet number as the main office backbone Ethernet, and some
are on their own subnet number.  They all dial into the same modem
pool, attached to a Sun.  For more discussion, you might find some
useful tidbits in section 7.1 of the Morning Star PPP User Guide,
available from ftp.morningstar.com:pub/ppp/user-guide-2up.ps.Z.

   Whichever case is it, how does it affect the IP routing table? Is
   static route required, or RIP is used?

Our in-office network is simple enough, and the routes stable enough,
that we use static routing.  Some users run routed on their UNIX hosts
and talk RIP with their routers.  Users with even more complex network
topologies, and with even greater requirements that the UNIX hosts
participate in the routing infrastructure, prefer to run gated and
talk any of gated's myriad routing protocols, including OSPF.  Use
whichever you need to solve your particular problem.  If the route is
in the kernel's routing table, IP doesn't care how it got there.
