Can any one help?  I need a Communication program that will allow a
connection to an IBM mainframe system product that has less than a
complete implementation of APPC.  The mainframe side of the
connection must be to a LEN node that will not support parallel
sessions.  My understandins is that this means that the PC and the
mainframe lu's must be DLU's.  The best situation would be for the PC
comms program support CPI-C (an APPC interface would be ok)
compatable with Visual C.

I've been able to make the APPC connection with OS/2 and command
manager (on the PC side), but that's not our standard configuration.
NS for Windows docs tell me that it won't handle dependent lu's.  I
cna't change the standard configuration (Windows/Windows for
WorkGroups) and the mainframe product won't be upgraded to a release
that can handle ILU's for more than a year.  Our current thinking is
that we must wait until the mainframe system is upgraded.  Is there a
PC comm program that can support our current configuration.
