To start with let me state that I am a complete novice at this networking
game. This is to let you know at the level you should pitch your answers, if
any, to my following query.

Ok, here goes. What sort of set-up, both hardware and software, do I need to
connect a PC over a TCP/IP network to a 3270 based host. To make things more
complicated, the PC 3270 emulator needs to be running under Microsoft Windows
and it needs to be able to interact in some way with other third party Windows
software. Also, the software should allow multiple sessions.

For example, the PC receives data over the network, the PC without user
intervention interrogates a local database using the received data, which in
turn leads to a new request from the PC to the remote machine.

So how easy is it to do this?

Thanks for any pointers,
