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?
?
I don't see the point either.? Even if it could be made to work, why would anyone want to?? We can define all of the local 3270s we need and then some.
?
I am the author of the DIAGNOSE 58, 7C, and 8C modifications that many here are using.? I did not put any support within them for remote 3270s.? I didn't see the need, or any future need.? Further, if someone did have a "remote user" that they wanted to connect to their VM system, they could just define a local 3270 device and let them access it through the internet with an IP and port number, and security considerations, as appropriate.
?
However, I dont think it should be deleted. It is part of CP.? Sometimes it is referenced for a "how to do something".? And there is no need to deprecate it.? Simply do not define remote clusters in DMKRIO.
?
My thoughts...
