Decision Data Adds 3270 Support to OmniTerm/e Ethernet Terminal.Business Editors and High-Tech Writers SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2000 Decision Data, a division of NLynx Systems, today announced that it has added 3270 support to the OmniTerm/e Ethernet terminal, both in the U.S. and internationally. The announcement was made at the Spring COMMON Show in San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. . "In today's multi-host computing environment, it is critical for terminal users who are running mainframe applications to have access to other hosts as well," said Jim Robillard, vice president of marketing for Decision Data. "With the OmniTerm/e, terminal users can access mainframe applications, as well as AS/400, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and Digital hosts, all from a single workstation. Decision Data is pleased to add 3270 support to all of our OmniTerm/e products worldwide." The OmniTerm/e combines all the benefits of a dedicated SNA (Systems Network Architecture) IBM's mainframe network standards introduced in 1974. Originally a centralized architecture with a host computer controlling many terminals, enhancements, such as APPN and APPC (LU 6. terminal with industry-standard network connectivity. It allows users to not only access multiple hosts but supports e-mail and local printing as well, without the complexity and expense associated with PC-based solutions and without the limitations of traditional coax or twinax terminals. The OmniTerm/e is the premier terminal for the midrange midrange Epidemiology The halfway point or midpoint in a set of observations; for most data, MR is calculated as the sum of the smallest observation and the largest observation, divided by 2; for age data, one is added to the numerator; a midrange is usually and mainframe markets, with the ability to handle today's text-based applications and tomorrow's graphical and Java applications A Java program that is run stand alone.
