It used to run DirectTalk/6000. I might have the terminology wrong. I not very familiar with the token ring side of things. By the time I got into mainframe operations about twenty years ago we only had a few token ring devices left. The RS/6000 mentioned above was only connected to the token ring side of our network. It connected to the 3174 via token ring to screen scrape emulated 3270 sessions. Before the RS/6000 was shut down, I was able to telnet to it from my PC, which was on the Ethernet side of the network. The router in is the Cisco 2500 series, perhaps a 2513. I found this photo on the net, which looks like the router in question, if I remember correctly: https://kyozoufs.blob.core.windows.net/filestoragetcdb/Pictures/_30/29886/2… As for using telnet on the 3174, I'm going by what I've seen posted on Hercules mailing lists about how others have connected real terminals to the Hercules mainframe emulator. A few pictures of such terminals connected to Hercules can be found at: http://CoreStore.org/emuterm.htm The posts I've seen say one either needs a router to act as a token ring to Ethernet bridge, or a PC with both token ring and Ethernet cards in it to act as a bridge. -- Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.Lassie.xyz http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX What's the definition of a legacy system?
