Ya.... From what (little) I know about 3270 (and 5250 for AS/400s?) reminds me of HTML forms with the mainframe as the web server and the terminal as the client web browser.

I am guessing that there is also security through obscurity based on what information was available at the time. > You could go to a VM monitor and type IPL AIX and watch UNIX boot up.
