Whoa, there.  Signon/Signoff are 3270-isms that do not exist in LU 6.2.
It uses a different method called Init-Self/Term-Self that perform an
analogous function, but more cleanly.

Products for the PC that you can buy for LU 6.2 support are:
      APPC/PC   from  IBM      (DOS)
      OS/2 EE   from  IBM      (OS/2)
      AdaptSNA  from  Network Software Associates (Laguna Hills CA)  (DOS)
      CommServer from Microsoft (OS/2)

There are a couple others I can't recall offhand. 3COM also sells a board
level product (MAXSESS) that includes SNA on it.

Just out of curiosity, what type of application are you trying to build ?
Are you using APPC/VTAM or CICS for the LU 6.2 support ?

Hope this helps.
