Networking - IBM 3270 Emulation Products

Easy to install, easy to use, and reliable

When you need a fast, easy, reliable connection to a Host Computer, you need a solution from the IBM 3270 Emulation family of adapters. The 3270 Emulation ISA and PC Card adapters bring host emulation to desktop and portable computers. These adapters provide convenient high-speed access to 3270 hosts networks. When running a 3270 emulation program, such as IBM Personal Communications, these adapters effectively turn your PC into an IBM 3278/3279 Display or 3287 Printer. They have an advantage over LAN (Ethernet, Token ring) adapters since they do not require any special addresses or reconfigurations when the computer is moved from one location to another.
