1) Your 3270 based host/mainframe must understand TCP/IP.  This can be
	accomplished in many ways.  A common approach is to channel attach
	a front end processor that connects a TCP/IP data stream to a
	3270 data stream.

2) You need a PC/MAC/Workstation/whatever application to emulate a 327X
	terminal.  A winsock based 3270 program is available from
	ftp.ccs.queensu.ca:pub/msdos/tcpip/qws3270.zip.  The Chameleon
	327X emulator is a good one as well.  You have to pay quite a
	bit for it though... :)


Hope this helps...
