Is there a consensus opinion on supporting remote 3270 in VM Community Edition? Should it be supported (as much as possible) at par with local 3270 support? Should it be abandoned and either deleted or stubbed out as deprecated?

Unless someone has an actual bisync controller, or a 3275 or 3276, I don't see the point.? I'm not aware of anything that emulates one, and TN3270 is an excellent alternative for distant emulated 3270s.


Whilst its not Hercules I am sure there are a few folks around with P390's and the 5-pack used to run just fine on mine. I no longer have it, but MCA cards that will run bi-sync are not uncommon, neither are 3174's with comms adaptors that will also run bi-sync. So it is possible to have remote 3270's on CE but I can't see any one doing it except as an act of pure torture..
