Configuring Links for VT over Telnet
The VT over Telnet attachment is an application that uses TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and that enables remote logon to an ASCII host. TCP/IP provides connectivity functions for both local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN) and includes the ability to route information between LANs and WANs. The major TCP/IP networks—the Internet—use a standardized addressing procedure to ensure that IP addresses are unique and that communication between enterprises is possible.
The VT over Telnet attachment for Z and I Emulator for Windows requires a TCP/IP stack that supports the Windows Sockets Version 1.1 interface. WSOCK32.DLL must be in the Windows system directory or the current path to provide the interface for the stack program and to support the Windows Sockets V1.1 interface.
