Summary:
DCA/Microsoft Communications Server/Workstation (Comm Server) products
provide communications support between OS/2 and IBM MVS and VM
environments through IBM System Network Architecture (SNA) networks.
Comm Server supports IBM 3270 terminal interfaces (LU 1, 2, 3) and
Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC over LU 6.2). Both
options support C-language-based API interfaces, including
high-level-language API (HLLAPI) for 3270 terminal support and APPC
APIs for APPC support. HLLAPI support also includes language interface
modules (LIMs), which allow customers to provide their own support for
other high-level languages.
Please refer to the DCA/Microsoft Communications Server documentation
for more information about link types supported, and other facilities
provided by Comm Server.
