Hi I am trying to use x3270 to connect to a mainframe, on port number 623, but am unable to. It shows an error "The service timedout", can you please suggest why this error is occuring / how can i resolve it. Is this a problem with the mainframe server or the emulator software. Or plesem suggest a better software if there is one.

try this: telnet {mainframe's_IP_or_name_goes_here} 623 and see if you get a connection to port 623. here's an example of me using telnet to connect to port 80 on this machine: akulkis@kulkix:~/.mozilla> telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 kulkix.kulkinet ESMTP Postfix ^] telnet> Connection closed. akulkis@kulkix:~/.mozilla> You are looking for a line that starts out: Connected to ... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
